Description
Job summary
This is an outstanding opportunity to join our team at the Acute Medicine Department at Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital. The acute medical unit (AMU) in Blackburn was established in 1993 and has been the longest continuously operating AMU in the country.
The Acute Medicine Department currently consists of a 73-bedded Acute Medical Unit (AMU), an Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit (AECU) with 10 assessment cubicles, and a Short Stay Ward with 23 beds. Our most recent expansion in 2020 was a purpose-built modern AMU-B with continuous cardiac monitoring in high observation areas and point-of-care ultrasound.
Our AECU provides an outstanding service in same-day ambulatory emergency care. Together with Hospital at Home sessions, we provide acute medical care to a significant number of non-hospitalised patients. The unit has also a dedicated outreach service into the emergency department.
Our weekly departmental teaching programme and twice-weekly radiology teaching sessions are highly valued within the team.
The department has actively embraced the use of point-of-care ultrasound in acute medicine, and we have become an accredited centre for delivering the FAMUS course.
Out-of-hours consultant cover is provided by the on-call medical consultant.
Weekend duties are long-day shifts Saturday and Sunday on AECU every 6 weeks.
The appointment is full-time and there will be a requirement for flexible hours in accordance with service needs as they develop.
