Job Description

Clinical Activities Inpatient RDH 4 base wards and outliers/winter ward QHB 2 base wards and outliers/winter ward Support wards with senior cover, in particular during winter. Lead board round on the winter ward daily (Mon-Fri) as well as providing daily senior ward reviews when consultants are unavailable. Provide support to the other DME wards when base team SpRs are on on-call or on leave. Referrals Provide at least one session a week to supporting the liaison service and inpatient referrals.



This can be increased when there are no winter pressures to provide an adequate training experience to progress to the specialty register via the CESR route. Outpatient clinics When not on winter pressures provide one falls/frailty clinic a week. Clinical duties will include taking a lead role in the management of acutely ill frail older patients. The qualities of leadership required as head of an elderly team are key to the role, and it is anticipated that these qualities will be gradually developed through the process of supervision of more junior doctors and involvement in their education - both formal and informal.



The post holder will be expected to prioritise and time-manage effectively according to the activity of the department and to utilise appropriately the available senior staff for advice. We would encourage the post holder to complete work based placed assessments to allow documentation of their own development. Education is an important part of the role. The post holder will be fully involved in supporting the training of all levels of staff: medical; nursing; allied healthcare professions.



Among groups who regularly attend the Departments are Student Nurses, Doctors, ACPs, Therapies, & Pharmacy students.
