South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust logo

Clinical Teaching Fellow SpR Obstetrics & Gynaecology

South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust is one of the top performing organisations within the NHS. Our staff think this is a great place to work and we hope you will agree. We have recently been rated as 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following our most recent inspection.

We provide services across Warwickshire and beyond ranging from Hospitals in Warwick, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Royal Leamington Spa and Shipston-on Stour to Community Services across the whole county. This includes our Community Teams in North Warwickshire.

We are a progressive, expanding organisation with great ambition around improving quality, integrating pathways and delivering high levels of productivity. Over 6000 people work for the Trust and many of them have been here a long time. People find they don’t need to go elsewhere to find a fulfilling career in healthcare. 

The first thing you will notice about us is how we take our values seriously. We believe that our values underpin everything we do. If you are interested in a role with us you need to make sure our values match your own.

Our values can be summed up in one sentence. We are ‘Trusted to provide inclusive, safe, effective and compassionate care’. Throughout the recruitment process you will be asked to think about how you demonstrate these values and how they impact on your work. It doesn’t matter what role you do, whether it is patient facing or not, we are all working in the same way with our values at the core.

Probationary Period

All new staff to the Trust will be subject to a standard 6 month probationary period, the details of which will duly follow in your contract of employment.

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust is committed to creating and sustaining a positive and inclusive working environment for all our employees. Our aim is to ensure that employees are equally valued and respected and that our organisation is representative of all members of society. We define diversity as valuing everyone as an individual – we value our employees, job applicants, students, patients and visitors as people. This is reflected within our values of being Inclusive, Safe, Effective, Compassionate and Trusted.

Agile and Flexible Working

All our staff will have a work base. However the Trust operates as an Agile Working Team therefore staff may be working from home on a regular basis as required by the service. However, occasionally travel around Warwickshire and into your base will be required so access to your own transport would be helpful.

The Trust also welcome staff to work flexibly and we would welcome the conversation at interview regarding flexible working.

Staff Benefits

The Trust offer a wide range of additional benefits to staff. Anyone who joins us on a substantive basis can assess things such as the Lease Car Scheme, Electronics Scheme, Discounted Leisure and Travel, Cycle to work scheme amongst many others available. 

Car Parking

The Trust have recently completed the construction of a multi-storey car park at our Warwick Hospital site which has allowed us to reduce waiting times for car parking passes.

Job overview

The post is designed to support undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.  Post holders will teach medical students in both the hospital and university settings, and will have the opportunity to deliver teaching and mentorship to doctors in training.  As a result, our education fellows will be involved in teaching a broad range of topics across both universities and at postgraduate level, requiring high levels of flexibility and adaptability.

 

Medical student teaching varies daily, from bedside teaching for Phase I students through to revision for final year students.  This teaching encompasses small group workshops, lectures and simulation based education amongst others. All teaching materials are provided however development of resources is ongoing throughout the academic year. 

Main duties of the job

The nature of this post means that you will be working on site at Warwick Hospital every day.  The exceptions would be occasional travel to Warwick Medical School and Buckingham Medical School, as well as to NHS Partnership Trusts.

 

Warwick Medical School and Buckingham Medical School have a range of postgraduate courses in medical education which are accessible on a modular basis, and can be used to obtain a qualification in medical education.  In order to support the medical educational element of the post, the trust will make funding available to support modules to obtain a postgraduate certificate in medical education (pro-rata for less than full-time or employment periods of less than 12 months).

Working for our organisation

Come and join a Trust rated Outstanding by the CQC. South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust have been rated as outstanding following our latest inspection by the CQC and we are recruiting new staff to come and help us improve even further. In addition our staff survey results have placed us 4th in the country for recommended place to work.

We provide services across Warwickshire and beyond ranging from Hospitals in Warwick, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Royal Leamington Spa and Shipston-on Stour to Community Services across the county. We are a progressive, expanding organisation with great ambition around improving quality, integrating pathways and delivering high levels of productivity.

Our values can be summed up in one sentence. We are ‘Trusted to provide safe, inclusive, effective and compassionate care’. Throughout the recruitment process you will be asked to think about how you demonstrate these values and how they impact on your work. It doesn’t matter what role you do, whether it is patient facing or not, we are all working in the same way with our values at the core.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

The post holder will work with the UME Lead and Lecturer Midwives to deliver the curriculum to junior and senior students from both medical schools. 

Although this is a specialty role there may be occasions where you will support more general teaching, for example Phase I bedside teaching which focusses more on communication skills and basic examination techniques than specialty knowledge, or to be part of the faculty in a simulation session focussing on leadership skills.  Training for this forms part of CEF induction.

The post holder may be expected to provide clinical support to the O&G department at Warwick Hospital around any teaching commitments, in particular during periods of student absence in the organisation (eg Christmas holidays).

There are no on call commitments with this post.
