NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

The shift pattern for this post has to be confirmed.

We are looking to recruit Clinical Development Fellows to the Clyde Emergency Departments starting August 2025. This post would suit post foundation doctors or any more senior doctor looking for designated time to enhance their CV.

This job plan has time for both clinical activity and professional development. The rota has 32 hours of clinical work per week in the emergency department. The non-clinical work is more flexible and can be done to the candidate’s schedule within reasons.

Applications for LTFT working would also be welcomed.

Professional development can take the form of an existing interest or project the candidate is invested in or they are welcome to get involved with our ongoing projects. Previous candidates have participated in quality improvement, research, undergraduate teaching, simulation and union representation. We run an SSC via University of Glasgow called “Quality improvement in the ED” and the CDF doctors take an active role in the completion of a new QI project every 5 weeks.

We have a professor of emergency medicine in the department and a dedicated team of research nurses. We are an active participant in associate PI scheme, supporting trainees develop their research skills. We are currently recruiting to five clinical trials and participate in RCEM TERN studies.

We are also willing to support candidates’ own interests such as PHEM, expedition medicine and tropical medicine.The GGC policy study budget for resident doctors will apply.

There is a team of 26 Emergency Medicine consultants who all work across Clyde and are there to support learning opportunities and direct supervision.

The candidate will always be supervised by an ST3 or above or equivalent doctor. There is consultant cover from 0800 until midnight at the Royal Alexandra and we are working to achieve similar weekday cover at Inverclyde Royal.
