The University of Worcester is a high achieving, award-winning, dynamic institution set within an inclusive and engaged community. The number one University in England for gender equality, according to the last three years of the Times Higher Education’s University Impact Rankings, with multiple accolades for teaching quality, inclusion, contribution to the community, and environmental sustainability, the University has been shortlisted as Times Higher Education University of the Year three times in recent years.
One of the best Universities for health education, Worcester is creating the distinctive Three Counties Medical School [TCMS], aiming to widen access to careers in medicine and retain graduates in the local area.
The School is now seeking to appoint a Senior Clinical Lecturer in Radiology. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to be part of the team as the School enters its next phase of development, having secured the go ahead from the General Medical Council [GMC] to recruit the first medical students. Applications for the graduate entry MBChB are open for entry in September 2023.
The School’s planned curriculum emphasises problem-based learning [PBL], early consultations, programmatic assessment, an emphasis on community-orientated clinical placements and professional, emotionally intelligent communication at every stage. The curriculum is being developed by recently appointed Programme and Phase Leads.
The Senior Clinical Lecturer in Radiology will act as the TCMS lead on clinical radiology imaging techniques including X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, PET and molecular imaging, and also including interventional radiology as required. The Radiology Lead will be responsible for designing and developing learning materials and will make a significant contribution to lectures, practical teaching and the assessment for medical students, as well as contributing to the delivery of a high-quality student experience, working with the Phase Leads to ensure the MBChB programme curriculum is supported in respect of your discipline.
Clinical duties are a vital and necessary element of the duties of a clinical academic. As this is a 0.20 FTE [2 Consultant PAs] role, the University is looking for a joint contractual arrangement with an NHS Trust ideally in the three counties of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire or Worcestershire, whereby the Trust would remain the main employer and the successful candidate would be seconded to the University under an Honorary Clinical Academic contract, remunerated in line with their relevant NHS pay scale.
If you are interested in joining us at this exciting time and would relish the challenge of playing a part in the future development of the Three Counties Medical School as we train the next generation of healthcare professionals, we welcome your application.
