The team not only delivers much of the clinical skills teaching, but also commissions teaching from and liaises with other clinicians.

Clinical skills learning is initially largely
through peer practice, and moves on to include practice with real and simulated
patients in the Transition (T) year in preparation for clinical attachments. T
year is the 3rd year of the MBBS course for the MBBS5 (school leaver)
stream and the 2nd year of the MBBS course for the MBBS4 (graduate)
stream.
We
are seeking a part-time clinical skills lecturer to fill a vacant post. The
post-holder will be the lead for one of the main teaching streams for the
delivery of clinical skills teaching to MBBS5, MBBS4 students and Biomedical
Sciences. In addition to leading on
one teaching stream the post holder will also have a regular input into
teaching clinical skills for other years working under the direction of the
relevant year lead, and tutor recruitment, development and supervision. For T
year teaching, which runs on Wednesday mornings, there is a requirement for an
early start at 7:30am on some Wednesdays.
