As the senior academic leading the undergraduate medical course, you will lead the development of the undergraduate medical curriculum, driving changes to enhance student experience, ensuring that students are well prepared for work and responding to external developments (i.e. GMC, NHS Workforce plan). You will demonstrate proven leadership skills and have the ability to influence stakeholders, for example our NHS trust partners, to deliver high quality outcomes for our students. You will have a real passion for teaching and openness to new ways of delivery.
