LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST

CONSULTANT ACUTE MEDICINE (3 Posts)

The proposed job plan and timetable are set out below. The appointee will develop an individual job plan that fits in with the rest of the team job-plan following discussions with the Clinical Director (Dr P Cunningham):
**AMU Activity**: 8 sessions of direct clinical care* (includes patient-related admin).
- One of these sessions will include the potential for a specialty session in consultation with the post-holder.

A key driver behind this model is the Trust's commitment to Acute Medicine, and optimising consultant-led care during peak demand hours to ensure the rapid assessment and treatment of acutely ill medical patients. A dedicated Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit (AEC) opened at Aintree in 2015. This allows same day treatment of ambulatory medical patients and hot clinics, which enables admission avoidance and early follow up of patients. We also continue to embed a rapid assessment process across the floor and support nursing and medical coordinators throughout the day with acute take board rounds on the Acute Medical Unit. This enables us to drive fonruard patient care and optimise patient flow through improved coordination and management of the medical take. These initiatives earned Acute Medicine the Team of the Year, and Proud of Aintree awards in November 2016.

Senior clinical involvement is available 12 hours per day, 7 days per week and is provided currently by a combination of acute physicians and other physicians from within the Medical Division but it is envisaged that, with further appointments, this service will be provided by the Acute Medicine Directorate itself with in-reach services provided by the inpatient speciality teams.

There are approximately 80-90 medical admissions per day. At any time, there are also six other specialist teams on call:

- Cardiology
- Gastroenterology
- Chest Medicine
- Diabetes/ Endocrinology
- Nephrology
- Medicine for the Elderly

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
