There is a range of boutique clinical fellow options available, with something to suit everyone. These comprise a split role with 80% of time spent in a clinical role in the ED and 20% in time outside of this (or up to 40% for senior clinical fellows). This split can involve clinical time in an area related to Emergency Medicine – for example, acute or ambulatory medicine, paediatric emergency medicine, O&G, sports and exercise medicine – or dedicated non-clinical time for quality improvement or patient safety projects, medical education, and ultrasound.
There is an exceptional opportunity for a taster post with time set aside each month to try several different options from the above list and more. These options have been very successful in the past in providing time to develop skills and gain experience and add even more variety to the rich world of Emergency Medicine. It is ideal for those looking to gain a breadth of experience and have a shiny application for ACCS.
