Put medical education at the heart of your working week Are you a GP with a passion for teaching who would like education to be the main focus of your...
You will oversee Year 4 and Year 6 medical
students during their placements, helping them connect their learning with the
realities of modern general practice. Through supervision, case discussion,
feedback and teaching, you will support their development as confident,
thoughtful and compassionate future doctors.
The post comprises seven sessions dedicated
to educational supervision, alongside one or two clinical sessions per week. We
welcome job-share applications from GPs interested in sharing the educational
and clinical responsibilities.
During student placements, the emphasis
will be on education: overseeing the students learning, reviewing clinical
cases with them, discussing their assessments and management plans, and
providing constructive feedback.
Between student placements, clinical
cross-cover is expected to support the wider practice team.
Your educational responsibilities
You will
Oversee medical students from
Years 4 and 6 during their general practice placements.
Provide teaching and
supervision appropriate to each students stage of training.
Review clinical cases with
students, helping them develop clinical reasoning and safe decision-making.
Support the development of
consultation, examination and communication skills.
Provide constructive feedback
and encourage reflection on learning.
Help students understand the
breadth of general practice, including continuity of care, multidisciplinary
working and the needs of a diverse patient population.
Create a welcoming learning
environment where students feel able to ask questions and develop their
confidence.
Clinical contributionAlongside your educational sessions, you
will undertake one or two clinical sessions per week, maintaining your
connection with patient care and the clinical work that underpins your
teaching.
You will also provide clinical cross-cover
between student placements. This is therefore a predominantly educational post
with a defined clinical contribution, rather than a wholly non-clinical role.
Support and professional developmentYoull join a supportive multidisciplinary
team, with mentoring and continuing professional development opportunities.
We welcome your ideas for teaching, student
support and educational development. This role offers the opportunity to make
medical education a central part of your career while remaining connected to
clinical general practice.
