HQIP SEEKS CLINICAL FELLOW

About the post 
This post is a Clinical Fellowship hosted by Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) and funded by NHS England. It was established in collaboration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The aim of the Fellowship is to explore how the information available to HQIP should be used by the regulator of healthcare (CQC) to inform its regulatory procedures.

• Click here to download the job desciption (pdf) >
• Click here to download the person specification (pdf) >

It would enable a junior doctor to develop the skills necessary to:

 - Work across the interface between clinical audit, quality improvement and regulation
 - Promote the need for and application of such skills in clinical practice and 
 - Enhance competence and professionalism in improvement science

We are seeking a highly motivated doctor in training who wishes to spend time prior to applying for a definitive appointment. It is suitable for doctors nearing the end of their training who will work between HQIP and CQC developing a risk algorithm, based on information available from the resources available to HQIP which would inform the regulator, and others including the public, Trusts and commissioners, concerning the quality of care in their institution.

The successful applicant will be a StR/SpR in a recognised Deanery-managed specialty school training programme at ST3 level or above at time of commencement of post. You must provide your NTN as part of the application. You will need to apply for an Out of Programme (OOP) from your host specialty in order to complete this fellowship.

The post holder will be offered an honorary research fellow post at the London School of Hygiene of Tropical Medicine.

Pay scales 
All doctors in training should be paid monthly at the rates set out in the national terms and conditions of service for hospital medical and dental staff and doctors in public health medicine and the community health service (England and Wales), "the TCS", as amended from time to time. The pay scales are reviewed annually. Part-time posts will be paid pro-rata.

Current rates of pay for junior doctors may be viewed on the NHS Employers website.

How to apply
To apply please send your CV and a supporting statement detailing how you compare with the person specification. Please remember that what you write here will provide evidence to the short listing panel as to skills, attributes and experience you have. The panel will not assume your experience from a previous job title you may have held in the past; you will need to explain how you have demonstrated the required skills.

Against each requirement of the person specification, please give examples of an experience that best illustrates the qualities we are looking for. When you complete the areas it is important that you:

• Keep to the point
• Give at least one recent example for each requirement, including qualifications if applicable. (Usually one example will be adequate)
• Be precise about what you did and the part you played in the activities you describe
• Describe the outcome or result of your actions
• Write your examples in your own words
• Simply stating ‘I can do/I have done this,' is not sufficient and you should make every effort to evidence your skills

Where to send your application and by when
Please also forward a copy of your CV and suppporting statement to Teresa Hoey([email protected]) no later than Noon, Monday 2 June 2021.

GMC Survey - Message from SAC Chair

Dear Trainees

As you may be aware May 8th 2014 is the closing date for the 2014 GMC annual survey of trainees. Whilst I understand that there may be a degree of survey fatigue the information gleaned from this survey is vital in improving both yours and your successors training. The survey can identify trends, general areas of training concern and Deaneries that may need more attention than usual.

Thus far the uptake from Plastic Surgery trainees has been embarassingly low in certain Deaneries compared with other specialties and I implore you to undertake and complete this survey. I do not want to impose the ultimate sanction that non-compliance equates with no ARCP pass but that is what we are looking at if the completion rate does not pick up in the next few days and I will be in no position to protect you from that fate as the GMC and Deaneries are getting particularly upset about the response rate.

Aidan Fitzgerald
SAC Chair
