About the Role
We are looking for a motivated Senior Clinical Fellow to join our enthusiastic and expanding team in Cardiff.
This post is available from 5th August 2026 until 3rd August 2027 and will not be extended past this point due to this post covering an absence and is also not recognised for training.
This exciting new post is aimed at providing further experience in Major Trauma within a Major Trauma Centre, whilst working as a Senior Clinical Fellow in Emergency Medicine within a busy tertiary Emergency Department. The job is designed to be an enjoyable, CV-enhancing post which will attract high calibre candidates.
The successful candidate would work at the MTC (University Hospital Wales, Cardiff) spending 70% of their time in hospital and 30% of their time on towards various aspects of Major Trauma. They will be joining a well-staffed and supportive hospital team containing 25 Consultants and 13 Registrars in Emergency Medicine. This is a unique opportunity to help build a system dedicated to improving emergency care in the vibrant city of Cardiff.
There are very few opportunities nationally for trainees to develop and gain first-hand experience in Major Trauma. This is a superb opportunity for trainees who wish to build on their portfolio. UHW has appointed a Consultant in Major Trauma who will be overlooking your training and encouraging participation in governance and quality improvement projects.
