The post holder will be encouraged to contribute to the Acute Medicine Teaching pro-gramme. The successful appointee will have an accredited consultant educational/clinical supervisor.
The appointed fellow will work with a large cohort of doctors, including Foundation Year 1 and 2, Internal Medicine Trainees years 1-3, ACCS ST1, GP ST1, Clinical Research Fellows, and consultants.
