Consultant in Acute Medicine
3 weeks ago
Interviews are due to take place on 30th September 2024. Previous applicants need not apply.
We are looking for enthusiastic colleagues with an interest in Acute Medicine to join our existing team of consultants. We currently have 18 consultants, many of whom benefit from a shared job plan within their chosen speciality field, e.g. Infectious Diseases.
With the implementation of Direct Access Pathways, the UHCW Acute Medicine department is undergoing an exciting period of change and expansion. We are looking for passionate physicians to play an integral role in developing our existing medical admissions and short stay services, whilst also helping shape our new Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) and Acute Frailty units. With the development of our Acute Frailty service, we are particularly keen to open this application to doctors with an interest in frailty medicine.
N.B. We reserve the right to close a vacancy before the closing date if we receive a high volume of applications or if there has been a change in organisational priorities.
Main duties of the job
The appointee will be expected to provide, and further develop, acute services for the Trust. This will be done in collaboration with colleagues in all disciplines, including primary and tertiary care, to provide an integrated and high quality service for patients. This will include ensuring that all services are provided in an effective and efficient manner and that the principles of risk management and clinical governance are maintained at all times.
Appointees will undertake an initial 10 PA job plan, annualised based upon a 42-week year. This will include 8.5 direct clinical care sessions of professional activity (PAs) (on a full time basis and subject to job planning). Direct clinical care (DCC) will be based across the various areas of Acute Medicine, including short stay, admissions unit, and Same Day Emergency Care. This will also include provision for patient related admin (PRA). All clinical work is provided as scheduled clinical activity and there is no on-call commitment.
Consultants are expected to contribute a minimum of one long day or late shift per week, as well as to the weekend working of the department (1 in 8 weekends), which are included as scheduled activities within the job plan. Where additional clinical work is provided outside of planned DCC (e.g. bank holiday) then this will be offered as time-in-lieu or, where applicable, paid as internal locum.
