The postholder will be responsible for a combination of triage and initial assessment of all new patients and ward reviews for medical advice for patients already known to the team. Where possible these reviews are undertaken jointly with the CNSs. The Palliative Care team works in an advisory capacity with a shared care model and does not have inpatients under their direct care. Close liaison and good working relationships with the patient's consultant and team are an essential and established part of our daily practice.

Although we work in an advisory role, the team has full access to all diagnostic and therapeutic services. We currently do not run formal outpatient clinics but endeavour to support our colleagues if they feel our input is needed for their patient. We receive ad hoc outpatient referrals through our electronic referral system and co-ordinate with teams to find most appropriate time and setting to see the patients. As well as the clinical and educational responsibilities the postholder will actively contribute to our clinical governance structures including QI projects and audit.

Where appropriate, the postholder will be named in the educational contract as the person responsible for overseeing their training and as an initial source of advice to such doctors regarding their careers. This may include educational supervision of a speciality registrar. The postholder will be able to attend the required training sessions to support them in this role.

Additional SPA allowances are made to support supervision of post graduate doctors in training. In liaison with the Director of Postgraduate Medical Education the postholder will be required to contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate education. The Palliative Care Team would expect the postholder to be fully involved in teaching and support of medical students and post graduate doctors in training both formally, during placements and with regular teaching sessions and informally on a day to day basis on the wards. (iii) Study & Research The postholder can request up to a maximum of 30 days study leave within a 3-year period (pro rata for part-time posts) as stated in the Terms and Conditions of Service.

The Trust is committed to ensuring that support is given for Continuing Medical Education. The postholder will be required to fulfil the requirements laid down by the relevant Royal College, and to fulfil the requirements for revalidation laid down by the General Medical Council. The postholder will not necessarily be expected to undertake research. However, opportunities do exist and encouragement is given to develop collaborative projects with other departments within the Trust or with the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.

The post-holder will be required to submit all research development plans which have resource implications to the Clinical Director prior to implementation. There are professionally staffed Medical Libraries in the Medical Postgraduate Centre at Southmead Hospital, with a rapid service between this and the University Library situated in the centre of Bristol city. A computer literature search facility is available for which a charge is made and the library has links with other networks. The libraries are at the forefront of developments in electronic knowledge delivery.
