University Hospitals Bristol and Weston Foundation Trust (UHBWFT) seeks applicants for Clinical Fellow posts, in Emergency Medicine, at SHO / ST1-2 level to commence August 2026. This post will be based in the adult Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI) Emergency Department (ED) service. Posts are available in pure Emergency Medicine (0.8 less than full time working is an option) or a combination of service provision in Emergency Medicine and paid time (80:20, full time only) in which to develop an area of ‘special interest’.

 

If an applicant has a particular special interest they would like to pursue, other than those listed above, then we will endeavour to accommodate this. Applicants should outline their motivation for pursuing areas of specialist interest on their application forms (a second choice can also be outlined as there is competition for specific options). Please also see www.uhbwcareers.nhs.uk/ed/ .

UHBWFT includes the Emergency Departments of BRI, Bristol Children’s Hospital and Weston General Hospital. This post will be based in the adult BRI ED service.

 

Main duties of the job

The post participates in a 24-hour full shift, fully compliant, SHO / ST1-2 rota and benefits from seven day a week consultant cover, up until midnight, and 24-hour registrar grade support. This post would be ideal for any candidate planning a career in Emergency Medicine, or any acute speciality, and is also suitable for doctors wishing to pursue a career in General Practice. All BRI ED Clinical Fellows have an Educational Supervisor within the department and access to the 14 Fish portfolio platform provided by the Trust. Successful applicants will have access to full support and advice for career progression.

The ED rota operates a full shift system with a balanced mix of early, middle, late, night and weekend shifts. Salary will be calculated by HR and rotas are fully compliant with the current national regulations.
