At North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) things are changing.

It is an exciting time to join us as we work with the University of Cumbria and Imperial College London to launch the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine in 2025.

Our vision is to be a leading organisation for medical leadership, education and training.

As an improving integrated care trust we are now investing in new medical leadership posts as part of our overall strategy to become a genuinely clinically-led organisation.

We are now looking to recruit a number of Consultant Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturers, who will work collaboratively with Pears Cumbria School of Medicine, whilst also embedding themselves as a practising clinician within their relevant clinical specialty at North Cumbria Integrated Care.

To be successful you will have the skills, energy and enthusiasm to drive the change and innovation to help us deliver the best possible care.

This is a joint post between North Cumbria Integrated Care and the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine.

A percentage of this role will be spent working as an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer for the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine , a collaboration between Imperial College London and the University of Cumbria.

As a General Physician / Surgeon, you will be working as one of the subject leads for general medicine / general surgery, developing and delivering the curriculum, from the anatomy and pathophysiology to the design of suitable clinical placements across the Cumbria region.

The other part to the post will be as a practising clinician, embedded in the relevant clinical service within the Trust.

Consultant job descriptions are available for each service, and can be shared for your speciality upon request, including details of the service, staffing establishments and an example job plan.

Alongside the opening of the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine, the Trust currently has a £40m development programme for our West Cumberland Hospital site, and plans for a new £20m Community Diagnostic Centre proposed to open in 2024.

Due to our geography we deliver a broad range of clinical services which are not typically found in other district general hospitals.

Act as (joint) Subject Lead for General Medicine / General Surgery, working closely with relevant academic leads and clinical colleagues in associated trusts to formulate and implement a plan for the delivery of the subject teaching within Medical Sciences module, and the delivery of related placements within the Clinical Skills and Professional Practice module, including learning outcomes, timetabling and resource requirements.

Use subject matter expertise and educational experience to create and curate high quality teaching materials across a range of teaching and learning modalities, which reflect the conditions and presentations that students will need to recognise for the Medical Licensing Assessment and are authentic to the students' parallel clinical experiences.

Work closely with other teaching leads and development teams to ensure close integration of medical science, anatomy, and clinical skills and reasoning teaching within the subject.

Develop formative and summative assessments based on the learning materials generated that are aligned to, and reflective of, the questions students will encounter in the relevant aspects of Medical Licencing Assessment Applied Knowledge Test and the Clinical and Professional Skills Assessment.

Once the programme is underway, continuously monitor, evaluate and improve the quality of content and delivery.

Where placements are provided at more than one site, work with local education providers to ensure activity is well calibrated to provide as uniform an experience as possible.

Contribute as requested to the wider delivery of medical school activities, for example through participation in admissions, tutoring, and assessment and feedback.

Review and respond promptly to feedback from all sources, such as student surveys, staff-student committees and external examiners.
