Description

Scope of Contract
Historically the AS function in the West Midlands was delivered on a 1:1 basis. However a review of this process demonstrated dissatisfaction from both the StRs and the ASs. HEEWM therefore redefined the extent and delivery of the AS function in the West Midlands through the introduction of academic learning sets.

Detailed Requirements
The academic learning sets will have the general aims of:
• helping Registrars achieve key area 8 and other relevant learning outcomes of the curriculum
• stimulating academic research consideration, in particular in service settings
• enabling opportunities for academic teaching
• providing an opportunity for peer support, academic reflection, shared learning, career progression
Each learning set will:
1. have representation from all years of training and involve StRs, Academic Clinical/Public Health Fellows (ACFs/APHFs), Academic Clinical Lecturers (ACLs) and Clinical Research Fellows (CRFs)
2. have ten members (therefore approximately five in total in the region).
3. meet three times a year, each meeting to be for two hours
The AS will:
1. provide supervision, support and advice on an ongoing basis in relation to research projects.
2. assist the StR identify their training and academic learning needs, develop appropriate strategies and identify resources to meet these needs.
3. give advice in relation to specific academic topics and other work such as publication of material.
4. lead the study groups
5. have an interest in and enthusiasm for teaching.
6. not need to be public health trained.
7. attend training as needed and organised by HEWM
Tenderers should be capable of demonstrating:
Commitment to this area of work and the overall aim of providing high quality academic supervision
• Ability to work with a range of key partners within Public Health and academia.
• A track record of involvement in postgraduate Public Health training.
• Ability to deliver the functions of academic supervision through the learning sets
• A working knowledge of the Public Health training programme.
