Trust LED Junior Clinical Fellow (ST1/ST2 Equivalent) in Medicine

This is a great post for those wishing to take some time out after FY2 and want flexibility, stability, training, supervision, a study budget and GMC revalidation, but do not yet want to commit to a training programme. It also suits those who want to take some time out of a formal training programme where they have dedicated non-clinical time. This post is based on the success of the Junior Clinical Fellow programme at Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals, which won an RCEM quality improvement prize and HSJ highly commended prize in the Workforce category and was shortlisted for the BMJ innovation prize. The programme is used as an example of good working practice by NHS Improvement, HEE (Health Education England). While this post is not recognised for training, the experience of other Trusts with similar posts suggests that trainees will find this post useful for their medical education, clinical experience and career progression. It offers candidates the ability to build a portfolio prior to specialty application, or to spend time in a chosen speciality prior to application.
