Description

This post is for 6 months in Genitourinary Medicine based at 56 Dean Street, Soho, to start on 2nd August 2023.

The Junior Clinical Fellow will work alongside other members of staff to deliver first class care to individuals presenting with STIs, HIV and other conditions and symptoms associated with sex, to make appropriate onward referrals and to review and manage abnormal results from clinic attendees (with support from senior members of staff as appropriate).

There is no on-call commitment attached to this post; however, the post-holder may be required to do evening clinics and Saturdays on a rotational basis (with time back in lieu).

You will be expected to work alongside other healthcare professionals and local managers to ensure the efficient running of services.

Successful applicants will be assigned a clinical supervisor.

Although the post is not educationally approved, the post-holder will have access to the same departmental educational sessions as their counterparts in approved training programmes.

The possession of MRCP is not an essential requirement of these appointments. Junior Clinical Fellows are encouraged to involve themselves in audit, research and/or quality improvement projects.

All duties must be carried out under supervision or within Trust policy and procedure. You must never undertake any duties that are outside your area of skill or knowledge level. If you are unsure, you must seek clarification from a more senior member of staff.

We provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East.

We have over 6,000 members of staff that are PROUD to Care for nearly one million people.

Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children's, in addition to a range of community-based services across London, such as award-winning sexual health and HIV clinics.

We're one of the best preforming Trusts in the country.

We're also one of the top trusts to work for - our staff say they're engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.

Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as 'Good' in all four of the main domains of safe, effective, caring, and responsive, as well as outstanding in being well-led well, giving an us overall rating of 'Good'.

We've also been awarded an 'Outstanding' rating for 'use of resources' by an NHS Improvement inspection.

Our facilities are some of the best in the country. We have been investing around £10 million a year in our estate.

We are currently spending £25 million on expanding our adult and neonatal critical care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster and redevelopment of our children's unit at West Middlesex - in partnership with our charity, CW+ and generous donors.
