Are you undecided about your career choices? Want to gain more clinical experience or improve your CV? Keen to develop an interest in education, research, or management? Then a clinical development post might be for you. An opportunity to grow in confidence as a doctor whilst still gaining supported experience.
Applications are invited for a Clinical Development Fellow post in Acute Medicine which is available for immediate start until August 2025. The post is based at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary and is aimed at those doctors who have recently completed their foundation programme or equivalent or core training.
This post will afford the successful applicant the opportunity to gain wide experience in Acute Medicine and develop procedural skills, while enjoying protected development time. We are a friendly, supportive, and enthusiastic team, and are aiming to recruit like-minded individuals.
The successful candidate will be contracted for 40 hours per week, with an average of 32 hours clinical and 8 hours for mentored development time. Clinical work will be based on our Acute Medical Unit and will include Out of Hours (OOH) work. The post holder will be paid at ST level based on their previous experience. A banding supplement relevant to the OOH component of their rotas will be paid in addition to the basic salary.
We anticipate that many of our CDFs will want to teach and will encourage them to enrol in Edinburgh's Clinical Educator Programme, successful completion of which will satisfy the GMC's requirements to be recognised as a trainer. The Dumfries Medical and Emergency Medicine Units teach Glasgow students in their 3rd and 4th year and ScotGEM students in their 2nd and 3rd years. Our Medicine teaching programme is highly rated by our students whose feedback places us right at the top of the West of Scotland teaching league table. CDFs will find there are abundant opportunities to teach and to mentor students. We will in addition set aside up to £1500 per annum per CDF for study leave including courses such as the Clinical Educator Programme.
Appointment will be subject to the Terms and Conditions of Service of Hospital Medical and Dental Staff and Doctors and Dentists in Public Health Medicine and the Community Health Service (Scotland).
NHS Dumfries and Galloway serve a population of approximately 148,500 within a large geographical area of about 2,400 square miles. The new Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, which opened in 2017, is a 344 bed state of the art hospital based in Dumfries. It is the main hospital for the region providing a wide range of inpatient and outpatient health services. The Galloway Community Hospital, which serves Stranraer and the west of the region, is an intermediate unit providing maternity services, as well as medical & surgical beds.
This post would suit a doctor who enjoys walking, running, cycling, mountain biking, and other outdoor activities. We are only a 90-minute drive away from the Lake District. We are also close enough to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Carlisle for those who enjoy the bright lights and city life.
