Clinical Teaching Fellow in Paediatrics

NHS Medical & Dental: Senior Clinical Fellow

St. George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the regional specialist care provider for south west London, Surrey and beyond. The trust provides a high quality, comprehensive range of health services from leading edge tertiary and trauma care to community services.

With national and regional referrals added to our local 3.5m catchment, we serve a population of around 5m.

Co-located with St George’s, University of London and with both organisations now in a formal strategic alliance with King’s Health Partners, the trust delivers with its partners high quality research and education both of which contribute to the healthcare provision of tomorrow.

Acute and tertiary health services are delivered from over 1,000 beds across two sites, by around 8,000 staff.

St. George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a major acute hospital that offers very specialist care for complex injuries and illnesses, including trauma, neurology, cardiac care, renal transplantation, cancer care and stroke. It has a helipad which opened in spring 2014 and the work of its emergency department can currently be seen on Channel 4’s ‘24 Hours in A&E’ programme. The hospital also provides all the usual care you would expect from a local NHS district general hospital.

We also provide services at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Roehampton. These include outpatient rapid diagnostic and treatment facilities, a minor injuries unit, limb fitting services and 70 elderly, intermediate care and rehabilitation beds.

As well as hospital services, we provide a wide variety of specialist, maternity and community services to children, adults, older people and people with learning disabilities. These services are provided from St John’s Therapy Centre, 11 health centres and clinics, schools, nursing homes and people’s own homes. The trust also manages the healthcare service at HMP Wandsworth.


 

Job overview

This is a post-CCT/Paediatric Specialist Trainee 4+/Registrar level role from January 2026 for 8 months. With appropriate approval from your training programme director, this post would be suitable for out of programme experience (OOPE) training.

Main duties of the job

This exciting role will provide you with the opportunity to develop your teaching skills, and enhance your understanding of all aspects of medical education. You will be involved teaching undergraduate medical students during their paediatric attachment. Teaching will be varied and it is hoped that you will develop your own teaching skills and be able to facilitate small group teaching, deliver lectures to larger audiences, and teach clinical skills at the bedside. You will also have the opportunity to participate in some postgraduate paediatric medical teaching. It is expected that 50% of your time is spent delivering and preparing for undergraduate teaching.

Working for our organisation

St George’s has an advanced simulation centre which teaches both undergraduate and postgraduate trainees. There is an active paediatric and neonatal simulation faculty which delivers in situ training to all members of the paediatric MDT, and you would be encouraged to join this team.

 

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

In order to maintain your clinical practice there will be regular clinical sessions in paediatric A&E or covering the paediatric wards, working at Paediatric Registrar level. Your teaching commitment is equally split with your clinical commitment. You would be part of the Paediatric ‘middle grade’ level on call rota and undertake long day shifts (both weekdays and weekends) and night shifts. The job is EWTD compliant.

You would be expected to undertake a formal medical educational qualification during the appointment. We would support you in applying for the Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education (PgCert HBE) course held at St George’s. You would be supported in attaining further training in medical simulation if required.

The department is involved in research and development of medical education within paediatrics. You would be strongly encouraged to participate in this aspect of medical education and aim to present your work at international meetings.
