Description
Job summary
This is a joint post between the North Middlesex and Royal Free Hospitals, in which the post holder will be contracted to provide 5 PA for each hospital site.
Main duties of the job
The North Middlesex duties consist of 1 renal diagnostic clinic a week (42 per year). When the consultant is covering the ward, the clinic is reduced in template to a 3-hour afternoon clinic, so the total number of renal clinic delivered remains 42/year. The consultant will provide 12 weeks of GIM and renal ward cover per year on a rotational basis and will be supported by the junior doctors on the renal firm for all NMUH activities. There is a fortnightly ward discharge/AKI clinic deliveredby the renal registrars and will be supervised by the ward attending consultant.
The Royal Free duties include care of a dialysis cohort of 50-60 patients, weekly Low clearance clinic (30 weeks of the year), and a chronic dialysis cohort (42 weeks each year). The post holder will also be expected to contribute to the Academic afternoon 42 weeks per year.
