4 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Full time

Job summary

This is a new role created to combine activity within acute medicine as well as help develop the role of acute medicine within the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC). It combines 5pas from acute medicine and 5pas from SDEC. The successful applicant will contribute to the acute medical take and Acute Medicine services and work within the SDEC at Charing Cross Hospital.

We are looking for two Consultants with sound experience and training in General Internal Medicine to join the Acute Medical team to support existing colleagues in a busy service. The role holder will work within the Division of Medicine and Integrated Care and will be expected to participate in the management of the patients under the care of the Acute Medicine team in accordance with local and national clinical guidelines and will rotate through these parts of the service.

The appointee will work closely and in partnership with the rest of Specialty Medicine and Emergency Medicine. They will also be expected to contribute to the Acute Medicine rota. This is a new post with great potential for Leadership development within the Acute Medicine team and SDEC team.

Main duties of the job

The Acute Medicine service at Charing Crosshospital provides a consultant lead service for all patients admitted under Acute Medicine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The ward areas covered by Acute Medicine are an Acute Medicine Unit (AMU) and an Acute Assessment Unit (AAU).

The Acute Medicine service at Charing Cross Hospital works closely with the Emergency Department and with Specialty Medicine services. The AAU has a fast turnover of patients; our usual length of stay is around days. This is due to a consultant lead service with twice daily consultant input into patient care, great support from imaging and diagnostics, multidisciplinary approach to patient care (delivered by the OPAL team) and an excellent pharmacy team across Acute Medicine. In addition there is daily input from a consultant lead cardiology team and in reach from other specialties (gastroenterology, neurology, infectious diseases, endocrinology, psychiatry, etc) for patients who require specialist input.

Admission rates to Medicine from the Emergency Department can vary quite significantly with the seasons. The post holder is expected to help deliver consultant lead care to all patients managed by the Acute Medicine team regardless of their location. The care of medical patients outlying on non-medical wards during the winter months is shared between Acute and Specialist Medicine.
