Job summary
We are seeking a 6-12 month Locum Appointment for Service for an unfilled Dental Core Trainee post. We would support either a dentally (DCT1/2 Level), or medically qualified candidate (F2 level) having completed their respective foundation year training.
The post would include ward work and theatre assistance, as well as a 1:6 on call component which is fully supervised and teaching and training as part of the regular trainee cohort is included.
Support for personal development is provided with an allocated Educational Supervisor to mentor and support the individual in their post.
Main duties of the job
From a clinical perspective this post will participate in the cross site junior trainee rota. The junior trainee rota is compliant with the 2016 junior doctor contract averaging 48 hours per week.
Duties will be based primarily on our Northampton Hospital site although all our medical staff are involved in delivering care to patients across our sister site at Kettering General Hospital.
This role will enable the post holder to take supervised responsibility for patient care and consolidate the skills they have learned at Dental or Medical school. As the post holder gains experience they will remain under clinical supervision but take on increasing responsibility for patient care. In particular they will begin to make management decisions as part of their progress to independent practice. Of note, a medically trained individual will be fully supported to participate in the usual activities of the post, but this will be modified to exclude dental procedures designated as requiring a GDC registration.
During their tenure the post holder will further develop their core generic skills and contribute more to the education and training of the wider healthcare workforce. At the end of their tenure the post holder will have begun to demonstrate clinical effectiveness, leadership and the decision making responsibilities that are essential for the next stage of their careers.
About us
NGH is one of the largest employers in the area and all of our divisions are committed to doing things better, with more efficiency as we update, modernise, and advance. We have also entered into a Group Model with neighbouring Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
Being a large DGH with a proud history, we are big enough to get interesting cases, but small enough to care, coach and develop. With over 200 consultants, a similar number of trainees and approximately 60medical undergraduates throughout the year, NGH provides comprehensive care and extensive training opportunities.
With this in mind, we have built a state of the art emergency assessment unit (Nye Bevan building) and are developing new ways of working to streamline in-patient care and optimize working with our partners.
NGH also has a large library, gym with swimming pool, and a brand new entrance with Marks and Spencer, Subway and Costa on site.
