Dorchester, Dorset, United Kingdom Weldmar Hospicecare Full time
Job Title:

Specialty Doctor in Palliative Medicine

Location:

Inpatient Unit, Dorchester

Hours of Work:

6 PA's (4 PA's would be considered) plus participation in on call rota

Grade:

Specialty Doctor NHS pay scale

Reports to:

Consultant in Palliative Medicine

Background Information:

Weldmar Hospicecare is an independent charity that provides specialist end-of-life care to patients and those important to them throughout Dorset. This care is given in the comfort of patients' own homes by Weldmar Community Nurses and our Weldmar at Home team, via Day Services held across the county or as inpatients at our hospice in Dorchester. Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers ensures we can continue to support patients through one of life's most difficult journeys. We work closely with other healthcare providers, including the NHS, to ensure our patients receive the highest possible care.

Job Purpose:

The Specialty Doctor post is mainly concerned with providing continuity of medical support and care in the inpatient unit. However, at times, it may involve outpatients or domiciliary visits.

Scope and Limits of Authority:

The medical and nursing teams work very closely together. While the postholder will exercise their own professional judgement, the advice of other clinical and nursing staff will be important in informing their decisions. The postholder will therefore be consulting regularly with Weldmar Hospicecare's:

  1. Consultants in Palliative Medicine
  2. The Associate Specialist
  3. The Director of Clinical Services
  4. The lead nurses for the inpatient unit and community nurses

Sound links with GPs and hospital-based teams are also essential. Attendance at meetings of the Charity's Medical Staff is expected.

Key Areas of Responsibility:
  1. Admission of new patients
  2. Management of existing patients
  3. Community visits and Outpatient consultations at the IPU are undertaken at the request of the Community Palliative Care Nurse Specialists and primary care colleagues
  4. Participation within the IPU in the MDT meetings and handovers
  5. Provision of advice and support by telephone to the Palliative Care Nurse Specialists in the Community and at Dorset County Hospital and to GPs as appropriate
  6. Full participation in professional activities, including clinical audit, training, and quality assessment activities
  7. Commitment to meeting CPD requirements, with appropriate support to enable this
  8. Participation in teaching for medical students from Southampton University and GPVTS doctors in association with the Consultants
  9. 1:5 on call rota in support of the hospice and community teams
  10. Involvement in all aspects of clinical governance
  11. Participation in training
  12. Maintain computer skills, especially in SystmOne
