The newly appointed Acute Physician will be required to cover SDEC also. On Fridays, the on-call physician will then cover SDEC from 5-8pm. The on-call physician also does post-take ward rounds during the weekend, except on Mondays when this is undertaken by the Acute Physicians. With the appointment of a new fifth Acute Physician, all post take ward rounds, including outliers, will be done by the Acute Physician.
**Hours per week**: 10 PA's
The post holder will have clinical and managerial responsibility, along with the other Consultant Acute Physicians, for the Medical Admissions Unit (MAU).
