The Consultants offer a 24-hour advisory service to clinicians and other clients of the service.

The size and nature of the Trust inevitably means that this is a busy and demanding role, involving response to numerous telephone requests for advice, ward rounds, multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings and clinical liaison, both ward-and telephone-based.

Participation in the joint ward round with the Antimicrobial Pharmacist and rounds on other specialist unit's e.g.

critical care, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, Surgery, Nephrology, will be agreed among the consultants according to personal interest & may rotate between the consultants with mutual agreement.

Currently some of the ward rounds and MDTs are taking place through Microsoft Teams.

Tuberculosis (TB) service-There is scope for being involved with the delivery of the TB service. Discussions are underway with the Respiratory Division regarding the involvement of Microbiology in the delivery of the TB service.

This clinical advisory service will involve a 1 in 6 rota for out-of-hours cover

(including weekends and Bank Holidays).

The post holder will also answer any OPAT related queries which may occur

whilst on call.

The post holder will:


Provide direct input to patients, contribute to Renal and Paediatrics Multidisciplinary teams and lead the co-ordination of care of patients within Preston and Chorley Hospitals.

Be involved in the management of patients on the OPAT service.

Be involved in the Undergraduate Teaching of medical students.

Be involved in the clinical supervision of Higher Specialist Scientific Training.


Participate in the Infection Service Consultant on-call rota for Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust with additional cover during colleague's absence.

Develop links with General Practitioners operating in the area.

The Department is accredited for the training of BMS staff and is approved for the training of medically qualified Microbiologists.

Specialist Trainees of appropriate experience participate in the rota at a level

compliant with European Working Time Directive and are always supervised by a
