ACFs and ACLs are indeed Academic Clincial Fellow and Academic Clinical
Lecturer. These are also know as NTN(A) posts or Walport numbers.
This will be the MMC training pathway for EM academics. ST1 entry and
2/3 years as an ACF 25% time academic preparing a competative grant
application for a clincial training PhD post. Then three years doing a
PhD. Then an ACL post, 50% of time academic finishing off clinical
competencies and writing the applications for funding for further
research, then on to a Senior Lecturer post. All this will mean a higher
standard of academic training, but will be a rather long training
program compared to run-through.
I know that Anglia and Manchester did not get allocated any posts (there
may be another round next year). So I think that for the UK we have:
Sheffield 4 ACF, 2 ACL.
Leicester 2 ACF(Paed) and 1 ACL
Bristol 2 ACF
I guess that this roughly translates to the speciality producing about
one academic every other year. If anyone hears of any other developemnts
please let me know. I would also be very interested to hear if anyone is
allowed to appoint a traditional MD Research Fellow (i.e. and existing
specialist trainee taking two years out to write an MD). It is unclear
to me whether this will be possible in future.
Tim.

I presume part clinical part academic, these people will still need to
be trained as clinicians.
