Clinical Fellow in Emergency Medicine

Job summary

Come and join us in Bangor for a fabulous six or twelve months' Emergency Medicine experience in a rural ED, with a fantastic reputation for junior doctor training. Please note that these posts are not the same as the Middle Grade Posts with PHEM, Global EM and Mountain Medicine options.

We are happy to welcome doctors who wish to just have a taster of EM prior to doing something else, or those committed to a career in the specialty. Our team consists of 13 SHO-tier doctors (3 x F2, 2 x ACCS, 3 x GPST and 5 x Junior Clinical Fellows) plus an Academic F2; ten Clinical Fellows in EM/PHEM; 1 EM HST trainee; twelve Consultants; and two Associate Specialists/Specialist Grade doctors. We also have a team of fantastic ENPs and ACPs.

This post is identical in every way to our deanery training posts: there's protected teaching every Thursday afternoon within the ED, plus a variety of other junior doctor tutorials and teaching sessions. You will also have an educational supervisor to help you achieve your career aims. Plus, we can offer you up to 11 days personal development time to attend suitable training opportunities.
