The clinical fellows are on regular on call rota along with the ST3+ resident doctors (once a week frequency usually) holding the emergency bleep between 8am-7pm (weekdays/ bank holidays) and non-residential on call over weekends (Saturday and Sunday), dealing with calls from GPs, ward patients and A&E.
The Dermatology department is also involved in the teaching of the undergraduate medical students for the University of East Anglia. Duties of the clinical fellow include teaching of medical students at the bedside and as part of seminars. Helping with the organisation of the student timetable and teaching sessions is also expected.
