• Take responsibility for regular visits to ITU and regular ward rounds.
• Undertake the day-to-day supervision of diagnostic methods, examination, and analysis of complex specimens.
• Participate in the out-of-hours advisory service on infection diagnosis and management as well as infection prevention issues.
• Work with the infection control teams and DIPCs on a local or regional basis, including liaison with the relevant health protection staff to investigate and prevent communicable diseases in the community.
• Assist in the investigation and control of community outbreaks.
• Provide advice in developing clinical guidelines, investigation protocols, laboratory SOPs and guidance on the appropriate use of antimicrobials.
• Communicating clinical information to explain findings, diagnosis and treatment options using various methods to ensure practical understanding.
• Communicate with patients and the wider multidisciplinary team on shared patient decision making.
• Work in and where appropriate, lead a multidisciplinary team.
• Assess and prioritise patient/client requirements, delegating effectively to others.
