Job summary
We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated doctor to work in Barts Health NHS Trust Sexual Health Services as a research clinical fellow in a 12 month fixed term post, to commence in February 2025. Following an induction programme, the main portion of the post holder's job plan will be to work in the research clinical trials unit on sexual health and HIV-related studies. There is also a smaller general clinical component to the role where the post holder will receive clinical supervision in seeing general unselected sexual health patients.
Main duties of the job
We operate 2 Centres of Excellence and multiple satellite services for Sexual Health across our East London network seeing over 100,000 attendances per year. We offer services 6 days a week including evening clinics. Barts Health has a cohort of approximately 5,000 HIV positive patients who are diverse in terms of ethnicity, sexuality and gender. We also see a high proportion of late presenters as in-patients.
The post is suitable for those interested in pursuing a career in Genitourinary Medicine or Community Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare. This post will provide a fantastic chance to gain wide clinical and research experience, excellent supervision and many teaching and training opportunities in integrated sexual health.
We would expect applicants to have acquired some general or specialist medical experience working in the NHS; previous experience in HIV or sexual health would be an advantage but is not necessary as training will be given.
