Postgraduate Medical Education Fellow (Leadership and Management)

Postgraduate Medical Education Fellow (Leadership and Management)

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trusts

The Medical Education Fellowship in Leadership and Management is an exciting opportunity for a resident doctor with a strong interest in the future of postgraduate medical education and training focusing on leadership and management.

The Fellowships provide 2-days per week (on average) to work as part of the Postgraduate Medical Education Department (PMED) to develop and deliver a selection of Leadership and Management projects. There is no clinical component to the Fellowship.

Medical Education Fellows benefit from funding to support the educational component of this role for an academic qualification (e.g. PGCert) to the value of £3,000.

For trainees, the Fellowship may be undertaken in-programme or out-of-programme. There are various options including in-training, less-than-full-time training, OOPT, OOPE and OOPP. We will work with you to find the working and training arrangements that suit you and your department best.

Applications for Fellowship roles must be discussed with your Educational Supervisor. Approval must be obtained from the TPD and Head of Service in advance of applying for this role. You will be required to work fully (both your training post and the Fellowship) at NUH so your TPD must be able to rotate you to NUH from August 2025 for 12 months.

Applications are welcome from both LTFT & Full time ST4+ or equivalent resident doctors.

Main duties of the job

We expect, during the year, that the successful candidate should:

• Lead, organise and deliver established leadership and management courses, such as Prep4CCT and leadership training for the NUH Foundation programme
• Further develop the Leadership and Management programme portfolio for resident doctors at NUH from Foundation to reaching CCT that dovetails with the current NHSE leadership and management training
