Teaching Fellow Cardiology

at  London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust

The main aim of the posts is two-fold. Firstly, to provide clinical training to the Imperial Undergraduate Teaching Programme with an opportunity to gain experience in teaching. This post will provide ample opportunity for audits and there may be an opportunity for research for the appropriate candidate in any desired topic or medical education. The numbers of students based here varies throughout the year. At times there may be greater teaching commitments and at others (particularly June & July) it may be considerably less when the TF may devote much more time to clinical activities and towards pursuing an educational qualification. Thus, flexibility and initiative are essential. The post holder is encouraged to pursue a qualification in teaching and support is available for this through Imperial College. The teaching component of the posts will be accountable to the Director of Clinic Studies.
The individual work plan will be decided between the DCS, the lead Consultant and the successful appointee.
Teaching duties must take priority; it is not acceptable to work a night on call and take the next day off. They will be expected to attend regular Faculty Meetings.
There are no on-calls in this post.
