Description

The job entails working in predominantly our medical assessment units and ambulatory areas with significant in reaching to our accident and emergency department.

These patients ideally are those who will not need inpatient admissions and so would thus facilitate admission avoidance and relieve the strain experienced by our accident and emergency department.

A number of designated pathways and processes underpin the clinic decision making done by our senior clinical decision makers in the ambulatory area.

At both sites, our aim for direct consultant input in the ambulatory area facilitates the effectiveness of these areas and we hope that all new members to the team will embrace this.

Our medical assessment units are designed in a zonal set up which in future will allow developments such as frailty or high intensity care areas with individuals with monitoring.

The aim is to facilitate prompt clinical decision making with real time post taking to make sure that the a clear plan is formulated to establish the mantra of the 'right patient, right bed, under right speciality if required' and that within 72hr period from EDD (estimated date of discharge), that the patient reaches the right destination be it home, ward bed and other discharge destinations.

Working within a supportive and educationally-focussed environment, the post-holder will provide registrar-level experience in a teaching hospital with all the main medical sub-specialities.

The post holder will be an integral part of the junior medical workforce involved in the clerking and management of all patients in our acute medicine and ambulatory environment.

The post is for 12 months and will provide excellent training in the management of the common and important presentation normally seen in acute medical setting and give insight into the management of acute ill patients.

The post would be an excellent preparation for specialist training post.
