Description

We have an opportunity for four Trust Grade doctors to join the Trust on a 12 month fixed term contract.

These posts are funded by both Sunderland University and Newcastle University (please see attached JDs).


In addition to the above, the post will allow the post holder sufficient independence to develop their own area of interest within medical education and to study towards a recognised teaching qualification.


Principle activities within the role:


  • To provide clinical experience in Emergency Care
  • To assist in the development, co-ordination, and delivery of undergraduate teaching at Hexham, North Tyneside, Wansbeck General Hospitals and at Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Cramlington. The Teaching Fellow will participate in delivering
and monitoring courses and clinical teaching across year 3, 4 and 5 of the undergraduate medical curriculums.

  • To develop the teaching and educational skills of the Teaching Fellow, the post holder will be expected to register for the Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education, institution to be confirmed with Home Fees funded by the Trust. Alternatively, a similar qualification in education may be undertaken, supported by the Trust up to the equivalent Home Fee Rate.
  • To carry out a small-scale educational project, for example an audit or the development of new innovative teaching material.


We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, in addition to our state-of-the-art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England.

We also care for people in their homes and provide services from facilities in local communities such as health centres.

We give people greater choice and control over their care to help them to live independently at home and avoid hospital admission where appropriate.

High quality patient care is at the heart of everything we do and we strive to ensure every single patient and service user has an exceptional experience with us.

We have one of the most extensive patient experience programmes of any trust in England.
