Clinical Teaching Fellow (Psychiatry)

This is a well supported 12-month post (with the possibility of extension) with a variety of interesting activities in Glenbourne Unit, Plymouth. It would suit a doctor with membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists seeking to broaden experience in AMHS prior to application to specialty training, or a trainee wishing to take time out of training (although GMC approval would be required in the latter case) to pursue an academic project. The department has a strong tradition in teaching and training, both at postgraduate and undergraduate levels. A total of six clinical sessions will be dedicated to the clinical need of adult patients in Glenbourne Unit, and up to four are available for academic activities worked flexibly. There will be an expectation that the candidate participates, and leads on, the delivery of weekly teaching to the medical students, and provides teaching to other trainees. In addition, there is plenty of scope for a special interest for example in furthering their own qualifications in medical education by considering a Post Graduate Course in Clinical Education (PGCE) at the University of Plymouth. Further information on this course can be found here: PgCert Clinical Education - University of Plymouth.

Part funding of the course may be available but is not guaranteed.
