Job summary
The Medical Director provides high-level
clinical governance and strategic oversight for the organisations training
programmes, ensuring they remain safe, evidence-based, and aligned with
professional and regulatory standards. Operating primarily in an advisory
capacity, the role focuses on monitoring quality, reviewing outcomes, and
offering expert guidance to support the continuous improvement of training
delivery. The post-holder helps set the clinical direction of the education
portfolio and ensures that programmes maintain credibility, accuracy, and
relevance without requiring daily operational involvement.
While largely a consultative role, the
Medical Director contributes to the development and periodic review of clinical
content and may offer targeted support during key programme updates, complex
quality matters, or when specialist input is required. On an occasional basis,
and only where necessary, the post-holder may provide limited support or
representation to uphold clinical standards. Through this strategic level of
engagement, the Medical Director reinforces the organisations commitment to
high-quality clinical education while enabling operational teams to manage
day-to-day delivery.
Main duties of the job
- Provide strategic clinical oversight across all clinical programmes and simulation.
- Reviews and signs off clinical risk controls and escalation routes.
- Advises on curriculum clinical accuracy and updates based on national guidance and employer need.
- Supports quality of education through observation input, specialist coaching and clinical CPD strategy.
- Acts as senior clinical advisor in incidents, complaints or external scrutiny.
- Works closely with the Head of Education and Quality and Designated Safeguarding & Inclusion Lead where clinical risk overlaps with learner welfare.
