Working for our organisation
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust is an integrated Trust providing community, acute and specialist care in our hospitals, community locations and in people's homes. We care for patients from across Buckinghamshire and the borders of Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Bedfordshire.
We have around 6,000 highly trained doctors, nurses, midwives, health visitors, therapists, healthcare scientists and other support staff all working to deliver the best healthcare to our patients; from newborn babies to elderly people needing help to live independently at home., This post is designed to support post-FY2 doctors who wish to continue clinical work alongside non-clinical paid time, enabling flexibility, job stability and satisfaction. Ideally, you will have decided on Medicine as your preferred career. You will have completed FY2 training and may be looking to explore a particular speciality further. You want the flexibility to choose specific time/weekends off, with the security of a regular income and pension entitlement. You want to maintain clinical skills, whilst also expanding your CV skills during work time.
This is a great post for those wishing to take some time out after FY2 and want flexibility, stability, training, supervision, a study budget and GMC revalidation, but do not yet want to commit to a training programme. It also suits those who want to take some time out of a formal training programme where they have dedicated non-clinical time.
This post is based on the success of the 'Junior Clinical Fellow' programme at Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals, which won an RCEM quality improvement prize and HSJ highly commended prize in the Workforce category and was shortlisted for the BMJ innovation prize. The programme is used as an example of good working practice by NHS Improvement, HEE (Health Education England).
