Senior Fellows in prehospital care will work both alongside consultants and independently (with telephone consultant advice) on a 24/7 rota commitment contributing 0.3WTE. In addition to clinical shifts, doctors have opportunities to reflect and learn from cases, realise the impact of their patient assessment and interventions, and provide peer review of the cases of others. Regular scheduled meetings include death and disability meetings, Clinical Governance days and the opportunity to hear from forensic pathologists to correlate clinical and postmortem findings. Supervision, continuing professional development, definition of core standards and mentoring will be coordinated by the Medical Director and Clinical Lead for Pre-hospital care with peer support from the consultants.
