There will also be plenty of opportunities to develop other areas of interest, such as taking part in specialty clinics (subject to specialty approval), getting involved in the teaching of under- and post-graduates, participating in service improvement projects or completion of a Postgraduate Certificate in healthcare education., 1. The clinical fellows will be required to perform clinical work both as the first doctor to see patients who present to a busy urban emergency department, managing patients on the ward and participating in Acute Medicine clinics. 2. The appointees will work closely with the admitting general medical and the multidisciplinary team, supervising the work of more junior staff. 3. The post holders will be expected to contribute to the performance of administrative duties on the AMU - such as checking radiology reports and microbiology results - and to contribute to the smooth and efficient running of the service, as required. 4. It is envisaged that the appointees would share the running of the multidisciplinary team meetings with the consultants for Acute Medicine. 5. The post holders will be expected to contribute to the teaching of medical students and junior doctors. There may also be an opportunity to contribute to the teaching of specialist nurses and physician associates. 6. The appointees will be expected to undertake audits and encouraged to take on clinical research projects depending on their interests.
