Developing the clinical leaders of tomorrow
“I’m an academic trainee in clinic leadership and management and Northampton is one of the few places in the UK that runs this academic programme. Northampton is developing the clinical leaders of tomorrow.” Dr Ali Habib
If you are a post-graduate looking to develop your career in a clinically-led organisation where quality improvement, leadership, teaching and research are highly valued, look no further than Northampton General Hospital.
For our FY1 doctors, we provide a structured shadowing programme to introduce you to your new role. This includes training sessions and ward-based shadowing so you can meet your team before you start and familiarise yourself with the day-to-day running of the ward or department
As a busy district general hospital, we can guarantee all our trainees will get great exposure to clinical scenarios and decision making - with opportunities to carry out procedures and skills that you won’t necessarily get to do at a bigger hospital.
With a relatively low consultant-to-trainee ratio, we offer high levels of education support, mentoring and personalised training.
Quality improvement and patient safety
Through our well-established quality improvement programme, our trainees are directly involved in researching, proposing and delivering evidence-based improvement right here. Nationally, we have one of the highest rates for abstracts, posters, and presentations accepted for national and international meetings.
