Job overview
Do you want to experience the excitement of seeing the full scope of emergency presentations in one of only 12 Emergency Departments designated as an Adult and Paediatric Major Trauma Centre? Are you looking to continue to develop a career in emergency medicine under the supervision of a team of consultants who have consistently delivered excellent training at all levels? Do you want to be part of a highly supportive and friendly team and work in a fast paced, high intensity environment?
We are consistently one of the top trusts regionally for performance against the 4-hour standard, delivered by focusing on high quality patient care throughout the organization. In 2019, we won the inaugural Newcastle Hospitals Clinical Team of the Year Award. This combination of high performance, varied case mix and close team working create a unique environment to support your professional development and enjoyment of your job.

Main duties of the job
The Teaching Fellow posts span a variety of clinical areas and research domains within Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals, with varied time allocated for clinical and teaching-based work within different posts (posts range from between 30% and 50% allocated teaching time). The clinical opportunities are dependent on the department and equivalent grade of the teaching fellow, however many posts offer ward-based experience, time to attend clinics and theatre lists, as well as the chance to be involved in or lead departmental teaching, audits and quality improvement projects.
