To ensure good practice by regular audit and review of incidents with the clinical team and take forward lessons learnt.
To take part in the on call medical rota. The consultant will be expected to join the on call rota for acute medical admissions to the emergency units.
The appointee will link with all the acute physicians involved in the admission of respiratory patients and other colleagues in the specialty across Northamptonshire.
