International Medical Graduate Teaching Fellow
NHS Medical & Dental: Local Appointment nodal point 4 (MT04)
As University Hospitals Dorset we are a three site acute trust with ‘university hospital’ status through our partnership with Bournemouth University, working with an annual budget of £730m.
We offer highly regarded health services, employing some 10,000 staff. Our ambitious £250m estates programme is well on the way to delivering state-of-the-art facilities over the next two years to meet the current and future healthcare needs of the populations we serve.
In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with over seven miles of sandy beaches you’ll find inspirational opportunities to achieve your perfect work/life balance. With the New Forest and the Purbecks on our doorstep, we’re also less than three hours from London by road or train. The thriving towns of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch give way to idyllic villages and unspoilt landscapes just minutes from our hospitals.
We believe that having a diverse workforce, and allowing people to be themselves, is essential in ensuring we offer an inclusive, welcoming and productive place to work.
We especially welcome applications from minority groups in the community who may be underrepresented in our workforce.
At UHD our active staff network groups are the Women's Network, Black Asian Minority Ethnic Group (BAME), Pride Network, European (EU), Pro Ability Staff Network, and the Armed Forces Support Group.
As a Trust we are proudly signed up to the Disability Confident and Armed Forces Covenant guaranteed interview schemes.
Job overview
We invite applications for an international Medical Graduate (IMG) Fellow post to support, guide and champion the needs of International Medical Graduate doctors at UHD.
The post will be based across UHD (Royal Bournemouth and Poole Hospitals) with 80% of the time allocated to IMG education, training and support initiatives and 20% (1 day per week) to an area of clinical interest to ensure the post holder’s clinical skills are supported and maintained. This post does not require out of hours work.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will be involved in the delivery and development of a wide variety of Education and Training initiatives to support our International Medical Graduates at UHD.
UHD has over 200 locally employed doctors (LEDs) of which around 75% are International Medical Graduate doctors (IMGs). In addition a significant proportion of our doctors in regional training programmes are IMGs. This post will focus on developing and delivering processes which enhance the working experience of IMG doctors at UHD and support their career development.
Working for our organisation
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have about this at interview.
Please note if the role or service is relocated as part of a planned move, employees will not be eligible for excess mileage reimbursement. Travel from the postholder's home to the new work base will be considered a normal commute. Any other changes not related to this relocation will be managed according to the relevant Trust or National terms and conditions.
