Detailed job description and main responsibilities

We are excited to be advertising a number of Emergency Medicine (EM) Senior Clinical Fellow posts, based in our Emergency Department at Northampton General Hospital.

The post is part of an expansion of our Middle Grade tier of doctors, and is designed for candidates who are working at the level of senior decision maker in Emergency Medicine, or who are ready to take this responsibility and wish to advance their career in this exciting specialty.

Successful candidates will be allocated a supervising FRCEM Consultant with a relevant special interest to support their project and will be encouraged to submit project work for presentation regionally/ nationally.

The successful applicant will begin work at a level commensurate with previous experience, likely to be at ST3-6 (registrar) level. The post holder must be registered with the GMC and hold a licence to practice.

Participation in the Departmental teaching programme will be expected, and you will have a designated Emergency Medicine Consultant supervisor for the duration of your post. Our department consistently receives excellent feedback from trainees regarding the friendly working environment, the approachability and supportiveness of senior staff, and the training opportunities available. The Consultant body has a breadth of experience including sub-specialty interests in Geriatric Emergency Medicine, Paediatric Emergency Medicine, Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine, Sports medicine, , Education, and Emergency Ultrasound.

Motivated clinicians with sufficient Emergency Medicine experience may also wish to discuss the opportunities available within NGH for specialty training to support an application for entry to the EM specialist register, and enable consultant appointment via the CESR route.

This is not a HEE recognised post, and you will not receive a National Training Number or a CCT.

Job Purpose

The purpose of this post is twofold:

To increase the level of middle grade cover within the department.
To provide a supportive environment for the motivated candidate to gain middle grade experience and progress their Emergency Medicine career.

The successful candidate would be expected to support the trust’s corporate objectives, and to participate in, and be supportive of, the clinical governance structure within the Directorate of Medicine and Emergency Care.

Duties and Responsibilities:

The ED has 24/7 middle grade clinical cover with two or more senior doctors present at all times. There is extended consultant cover from 08:00 – 23:00 weekdays, and flexibly 10:00-22:00Hrs weekends & bank holidays. Outside these hours, consultant cover is provided via an on-call system and consultants will attend the department if required.

Post holders in this grade will participate in the middle grade rota. Duties within the Emergency Department will cover the whole range of clinical responsibility for adults and children with emergency problems from minor injuries to major trauma, and minor illnesses through to the critically unwell. You will be expected to lead major cases in our resuscitation room. You will also be responsible for any patients you admit to our Emergency Observation (Short stay) Ward. We also run a weekday ED Review Clinic, your rota will include shifts covering this.

The post holder will be expected to prioritise and time-manage effectively according to the activity of the department. Out of hours, the post holder will be one of the senior doctors present in the department and will be expected to lead the shift, working with the nurse-in-charge to ensure patient safety.

We would encourage the post holder to complete workplace based assessments to allow documentation of their own development and mapping of competencies achieved in line with RCEM curriculum.

Education is an important part of the role. The successful applicant will be expected to receive and deliver teaching. The post holder will receive consultant supervision and have a named consultant supervisor, and may be involved in supporting the training of other staff: medical; nursing; para-medical at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
