Resources available to the post holder

The Sussex Education Centre is an educational facility used to host lectures for up to 70 students, small group work, tutorials and simulation.  A clinical supervisor and an academic supervisor will be identified for the post-holder prior to starting in role.  Weekly clinical supervision will be mandatory and the post-holder will develop a personal development plan with these supervisors.

The post-holder will be expected to work closely with our undergraduate administrator and other non-medical members of the Medical Education team.  

Responsibilities 

a)    Good Medical Care

The post-holder will be required to work within the clinical multi-disciplinary team to provide assessment, treatment and care to service-users and their carers. They will be expected to operate within guidelines, policies and procedures relevant to the post and will always be expected to work within their competencies.  They will use their clinical supervisor and the wider clinical team of psychiatrists, mental health nurses, mental health pharmacists, psychologists, occupational therapists and administrators to support them in their work.

b)   Maintaining Good Medical Practice

Meaningful participation in clinical and educational supervision is expected.  Likewise, attendance at trust-wide postgraduate training is a requirement of the post.  Full use of library and other trust educational facilities will be offered. Mandatory training and formal trust and locality induction will be organised for the trainee and full attendance is expected.

 c)    Management

The post-holder will answer to their clinical consultant supervisor with respect to their clinical work - the supervisor will vary depending on which team the post-holder is placed with.  With respect to their medical education work, the post-holder will answer to Dr Lisa Page (BSMS Year 5 Lead) and Dr Alice Brooke (BSMS Year 3 Lead).  Ms Maria McKenna and Mr Tomas Heasman will offer managerial oversight of the role.  Ultimately, the post-holder will answer to Dr Oliver Dale, Chief Medical Officer for the trust.

The post-holder will work in partnership with service-users and carers in line with team practice. They will work constructively with managers and clinical colleagues to maintain effective team working.

 The post-holder will be encouraged and enabled to make fruitful collaborations with local BSMS academic partners.  Realistic and purposeful projects will be encouraged, especially those that use expertise from both SPFT and BSMS.  Orientation to the local research landscape will be offered to the post-holder.
