Chief Registrar in Medicine

JOB OVERVIEW

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two enthusiastic and motivated
senior trainees (ST4 or above) with an interest in leadership,
management and quality improvement to join Shrewsbury and Telford
Hospital NHS Trust as Chief Registrars.

The Chief Registrar role provides higher specialty trainees with at
least 50% protected time to develop skills and confidence in
leadership, management and quality improvement. Learning that Chief
Registrars gain from the Royal College of Physicians’ (RCP’s)
bespoke development programme will be put into practice in a supported
environment that provides autonomy, flexibility and support to develop
projects that address key local challenges and priorities. Projects
may include service improvement and development, engagement and morale
and education and training and will be tailored to the Chief
Registrar’s interests as well as the needs of the Trust. All
projects will have patient safety and the delivery of high-quality
care at their core.

MAIN DUTIES OF THE JOB

**The Chief Registrar role will suit trainees who**:

- Want to learn about leadership and gain senior leadership

experience
- Are comfortable working in uncertain environments and across

traditional boundaries
- Relish the opportunity to develop their own ideas and initiatives
- Are committed to and passionate about improving the NHS.

The Chief Registrars will be mentored by a senior clinical leader
within the Trust and will gain a unique insight into leadership and
management processes, as well as deeper knowledge of the NHS. They
will benefit from a flexible training model that will enable them to
develop a portfolio of experience and skills that will benefit future
consultant posts and leadership roles and build a profile that will
mark them out as a future clinical leader.

The Chief Registrars will have the opportunity to attend modules
delivered as part of the RCP’s bespoke development programme at
either RCP North or RCP London. These will cover, for example, change
management, team culture and development, quality improvement,
leadership, influencing and personal resilience.
