Job description

We have been assigned by one of the UK's more prestigious NHS Trusts to help them recruit a Consultant in Acute Medicine on either a Substantive or an NHS Fixed Term basis for 12 months to join their successful Medicine department.

They are a Major Acute Hospital with a busy medical take and an established reputation for patients presenting with a very wide range of medical conditions with a high degree of acuity.

The department will ask the appointee to fulfil various duties, including contributing pro rata to the Acute Medicine Rota's in operation at the time of appointment and as they change with service reconfiguration. The medical team takes around 90 to 120 referrals per day. Around 1/3 of these are streamed via the Same Day Emergency Care pathways, seen on the Ambulatory Care Units. Staffing of take, Ambulatory Care, AMU wards, and HDU is being brought in line with RCP recommended staffing ratios with these new appointments, with teaching and management duties performed alongside clinical lists & assistance in regards to Clinical Audit and Governance duties.
