The post‑holder will deliver Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) and HIV services at 10 Hammersmith Broadway (10HB), part of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. 10HB provides care to a diverse population and delivers a wide range of routine and specialist HIV, GUM and contraception services across community and hospital settings.
The post offers an excellent grounding in HIV and sexual health medicine, delivered within a supportive and educational clinical environment. There is no on‑call commitment associated with this role; however, the post‑holder will be expected to participate in evening clinics as part of the service rota.

Although the post is not formally educationally approved, the post‑holder will have full access to the same departmental teaching and educational activities as doctors in approved training programmes. MRCP is not essential for appointment.
Junior Clinical Fellows are strongly encouraged to participate in audit and research projects, and previous post‑holders have successfully presented work locally and nationally. The post‑holder may also be expected to work across other GUM clinics within the Directorate, in line with service requirements.
