The remaining 20% of the week will be used for clinical work to which on-call commitments could be added, thereby potentially increasing remuneration. (However, any on-call work must not compromise the full working days in Medical Education). Half a day per week will be protected for personal professional development, part of which should be used to develop teaching skills, working individually, with Medical Education Department staff and with peers (other Medical Education Teaching Fellows). This time will be negotiated as part of agreed timetabled activity.
