Job summary

This post is designed to offer experience, and supervised training to doctors who have obtained the MRCP qualification, or are due to soon, and plan to pursue further training in specialty medicine in the UK.

The Trust is committed to providing the medical training content. Essentially the structure, content and responsibilities of the posts are similar to Specialty Registrar training posts.

Training will be supervised by a named consultant. At the end of the training period a Certificate of Postgraduate Training will be awarded.

The duties of the posts are normal registrar-level responsibilities that include care of inpatients, specialty outpatient clinics, and relevant diagnostic or invasive procedures under consultant supervision. Training will be supervised by a named consultant. The Programme will include Audit projects, Clinical Governance, and where possible, research.

The typical candidate should have full MRCP, or at least Part I MRCP with a plan to take Part II/PACES within the next 6 months.

Fellows will be expected to join the weekly teaching sessions and Grand Rounds. In-house training is provided for PACES/MRCP part II, and study leave will be available to help candidates attend courses for MRCP preparation, or other areas of training.
