The University of Buckingham is seeking a highly motivated General Practitioner with a
specialist interest in Medical Education to lead its Clinical Skills Foundation Course (CSFC) at
our Buckingham Campus, from September 2026.
The University of Buckingham created the UK's first independent, not-for-profit, Medical
School in 2015. Our guiding philosophy is to produce highly ethical, honest, and
compassionate doctors who will put the patient first. We are now in our 11th year of intake of
the integrated four-and-a-half-year course. We received our GMC accreditation in May 2019
and our first intake also graduated in June 2019, and took up their Foundation Training.

have their first experiences of the core clinical building blocks of being a Doctor.
Role Purpose
The CSFC unit aims to enable students to make progress towards meeting some of the
knowledge, skills and behaviours described in the GMC's Outcomes for Graduates (2018).
The specific aims are to enable students to carry out a patient-centred consultation and
interpret the findings to generate appropriate working diagnoses. The Unit also empowers
students to take and record a history from a patient, perform a physical examination of the
main systems of the body and understand the importance of the patient perspective in
diagnosing and managing patient problems. Teaching occurs centrally on campus, as well as
within the hospital and GP practice setting.
Skills & Experience
The post-holder should be an experienced, post CCT clinician, MRCGP and registered with
the GMC (or equivalent) and have experience of leadership within medical education. The
post-holder should also have a PGCert in Education or equivalent/higher.
Benefits include; Pension Scheme, Christmas shutdown, Free parking, On-site gym,
significant opportunities for professional development and a friendly and supportive work
environment
