An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full time Senior Clinical Fellow post at St Michaels Hospital, University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.

The post is for 12 months, commencing in August 2022

Main duties of the job

St Michael's Hospital is a large teaching hospital closely linked with the University of Bristol. The post-holder will work within the Maternal Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynaecology team at St Michael's, supported by the friendly and cohesive consultant team. This post is ideal for those wishing to gain additional experience in specialist maternal medicine outside the speciality training programme. It will include regular multidisciplinary antenatal clinics in endocrine medicine, haematology, cardiac disease and neurology, and participation in consultant led obstetric medicine ward rounds. The post holder will be expected to contribute to the full shift on-call rota (3rd on call), including Obstetrics and Emergency Gynaecology Cover, so the post is restricted to ST6-7 level only.

Annual leave and study leave are covered prospectively. As a valued member of the team you will be included in the educational and training activities of the unit and encouraged to contribute to the teaching of nurses, midwives and other junior doctors.

The post will provide excellent experience for someone wishing to consolidate their previous experience and training outside the specialty training programme.
