"Teaching Fellow"

Applications from Allied Healthcare Professional (AHP) backgrounds are invited to apply for the post of Teaching Fellow to join the primary care education team for 24 months. This is an exciting new opportunity to contribute to the early years (1 &2) of undergraduate medical education for students on the BM4/5/6/EU medical degree programmes with a focus on the primary care elements; early clinical examination, practical skills, communication and multidisciplinary team working as part of a new revalidated course. This is a specialist role for a 24 month project to help with the development, delivery and resources of a new element of the curriculum and will inform the revalidation project team about the development and use of similar/further roles going forwards.

On the BM4/5 programme, students study at one of the UK's leading teaching hospitals – Southampton General Hospital – and at purpose-built Life Sciences facilities on campus. The BM6 programme is designed to widen participation in medicine. Students on the BM(EU) programme study alongside BM5 students in Southampton for the first two years before returning to Kassel in Germany for the majority of their final three years.

This is an exciting opportunity to develop an educational portfolio that includes leadership, teaching, curriculum design and assessment in the early years of the primary care components of BM4/5/6/EU programmes. The nature of this portfolio will depend on the successful applicant’s expertise, skills and experience.

The primary care team work within the faculty of medicine and are a growing innovative team that sits within the School of Primary Care, Population Science and Medical Education, which provides a supportive environment with many opportunities for collaboration and further training. We are seeking to expand our multidisciplinary Faculty team through inclusion of an AHP teaching fellow.

We are open to internal and external secondments and would be delighted to have any informal discussion about the post, applicants are invited to email: Dr Pritti Aggarwal – Director for undergraduate Primary care teaching p.aggarwal@soton.ac.uk
