This post is based in the adult Emergency Department; no sessions will be undertaken in the paediatric Emergency Department. There is close liaison between ED and ICU at BRI. Patients referred to Specialist Units within the hospital are the responsibility of that specialist team, who will see the patient in the Emergency Department and arrange appropriate care. However, medical and nursing staff in the ED are responsible for any emergency care necessary. This shared care is seamless and collaborative.

Managerial: The management responsibility of the post holder will be to the Clinical Director, who is responsible to the Chief Executive and Trust Board.

Clinical Audit and Clinical Governance: The post holder must be aware of clinical governance and clinical risk management and actively participate in their implementation, including audit. Clinical audit is established at the BRI. The post holder will participate in at least one supervised audit project during the 12-month post and will be encouraged to attend interdisciplinary clinical governance meetings.

On-Call Commitment: In ED, the roster is a full shift system with a balanced mix of earlies, mids, lates, and nights. The pay for this post will be calculated by HR and will comply with the new regulations implemented in August 2017.
