An indicative job plan and timetable can be found below.

1st on call nights (non-resident) are shared equally. During the day there is a 2nd on-call (non-resident) consultant who covers the Childrens Day unit at Wycombe hospital and is available at night as back-up for the 1st on consultant in the event of e.g. simultaneous neonatal and paediatric emergencies. With the opening of our New childrens ED department in April 2023 we are also doing on call weeks Monday -Friday between the team.

Each consultant has 10.5 on-call weeks in each year. The NOW and POW weeks runs from Friday-Thursday. 3.5 times a year the consultant will also cover the new Childrens observation unit (COU), Monday to Friday, which is co-located with the new Childrens ED department. This number may change to be 1.5 with redesigning the rota.

We are currently looking at redesigning the rota (60 week rolling rota instead of 45) with some colleagues doing only COU weeks as part of their acute service commitment. This will decrease the amount of on call weeks for the rest of the 15 on call team.We may also be stopping 2nd on call overnight duties which will decrease the supplement to 3% from 5% above. Daytime responsibilities for 2nd on call at Wycombe Hospital will continue. 8 consultants share weekday evening twilight shifts.

Fixed days are covered across the year by paired consultants doing 26 shifts per year. Additionally, each of the 8 consultants cover 2.3 twilight weekends. During the twilight shifts patients requiring admission are reviewed by the twilight consultant to ensure appropriate management and early planning for discharge to protect capacity. The remainder of the twilight weekends are covered by the other 7 consultants.

This post is within the latter group of 7 consultants. In combination the 1st and 2nd on-call shifts mean that the rota is 1 in 7.5 and therefore attracts a Category A - Medium Frequency (5%) on call supplement. This may change as above to a 1 in 15 category A- low frequency (3%) Provisional Job plan Activity Category Programmed Activities On Call Weeks Includes POW/NOW weeks X 7 /year (1.8 PA) includes POW/NOW weekends predictable on call work(0.86) COU weeks 3.5/year (0.75 PA) - DCC 3.4 1st & 2nd ON calls - unpredictable DCC 0.4 Twilight Shift (16-2200) - Includes 4.6 / yr x Twilight Weekend (WET) DCC 0.6 General and specialist Outpatient clinics 3 clinics per week +admin DCC 2.8 Supporting activities Includes 1 Core PA for revalidation; Specialist interest development (0.5) SPA 1.5 Other patient related DCC-MDT meetings / communication / correspondence 1.3 Total 10 Provisional Timetable excluding POW/NOW weeks AM PM Monday Admin / communication / correspondence /SPA WGH-2nd and 4th -general / Admin Tuesday SMH -general clinic 1st,3rd and 5th /Admin Core SPA Wednesday OFF OFF Thursday WGH -General/specialist clinic Admin / communication / correspondence Friday SPA- specialist interest /Admin General/specialist clinic SMH Annual Leave Arrangements: Leave should be arranged by mutual agreement of consultant colleagues and approval of the clinical director and/or general manager, in accordance with standard Trust and NHS regulations.
