The Department & Hospital:

The General Medicine team are looking for experienced individuals to contribute towards senior clinical decision making within the department. You will be leading junior doctors and reporting to the Consultant team, playing an active part in the delivery of an exceptional standard of medical care.

This is an exciting opportunity as General Medicine roles are quite rare in the NHS, given most of the system is broken into the various medical sub-specialties. This is an excellent chance for a doctor with extensive Internal Medicine experience to utilise their skills across the breadth of Medicine.

Main Duties:

• As a General Medicine Specialty Doctor, you will be responsible for embodying senior clinical leadership. You will be heavily involved in making discharge decisions to ensure patients are able to leave the wards in a timely manner, while arranging any necessary ongoing care.
• This is a 10 PA (40 hour) role, with minimal participation on the Registrar night shift oncall rota. Instead, you will be expected to work 1:4 – 1:6 weekends (dependent on rota) during the day to ensure discharge of patients runs smoothly over the weekends.
• This is a multidisciplinary role where you will work closely with colleagues from across Medicine, including Endocrinology, Geriatrics, Cardiology, Respiratory, Stroke, Gastroenterology etc. Participation in MDT meetings is essential.
• You will be expected to supervise the junior doctor team and report to the Consultants.
• Teaching junior doctors will occur on the ward as well as in classroom settings.

The Department & Hospital:

The Trust delivers care to over half a million people every year and manages care across inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic and maternity services. You will largely be receiving patients from ED, Acute Medicine and community services, working with junior doctors, Consultants, nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, and other allied health professionals.

There is a wide range of medical wards at the hospital: several are General Medicine wards while the rest are sub-specialist (e.g. Cardiology, Respiratory, Endocrinology, Geriatrics etc.). A large portion of the work will be based on these General Medicine wards or treating General Medicine cases on the sub-specialist wards. There is also opportunity to get involved in General Medicine middle grade clinics.

Geriatrics is one of the largest medical sub-specialties in the NHS and very accessible to international doctors as a large portion of Geriatrics Medicine is essentially Internal Medicine. This Registrar level Geriatrics role is an excellent opportunity for doctors with a good background of General Internal Medicine looking to step into a new role in the NHS.

Main Duties:

• The post holder will support the Consultant team to provide high-quality medical care to Geriatric inpatients.
• Ward-based work will involve assessing patients in the frailty assessment unit, treating patients in the frailty SDEC to reduce the admission load, covering the frailty inpatient ward, and the orthogeriatric trauma unit.
• Alongside the inpatient work the applicant will also be involved in regular Geriatric Medicine outpatient clinics, including General Geriatric Medicine, Parkinsons, Falls, and Movement Disorders.   
• You will work closely with Consultants, junior doctors, nurses, and Advanced Care Practitioners (ACPs) to care for elderly patients.
• Interest and exposure to Stroke Medicine can be arranged if the applicant is interested, as the two teams are closely linked.
• Work with other teams to take referrals from GPs, A&E, and other departments. 
• Work effectively in multidisciplinary teams to review patients and work towards discharge.
• Support referrals to other medical sub-specialties within the hospital.
• Liaise with community teams to ensure continued care for elderly patients is implemented post-discharge.
• Participate in the Registrar oncall rota on a 1:10 basis.
• To keep up to date with training and practice within the speciality of Geriatrics.

The Hospital & Department:

The job is based at the main acute site in the Trust, which has just over 700 beds. The Geriatrics department falls within the Division of Medicine, which is the largest division within the hospital. The Division of Medicine includes Acute Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, Cardiology, Respiratory, Gastroenterology, Renal, Diabetes and Endocrinology, Rheumatology, Neurology, Stroke Medicine, Dermatology and Haematology. Given the nature of Geriatrics, you will also be closely linked to community partners outside of the main acute site.

The Geriatrics department, and wider Medicine division, provide high quality, patient-centred care to elderly patients presenting with frailty associated conditions. The team ensure that patients are consulted and involved in the major decision making in their treatment. Work in the geriatrics team involves working in the orthogeriatric trauma ward, the general frailty ward, and the Frailty SDEC.

The department is currently working on developing a plan to incorporate virtual frailty wards into the Geriatrics patient pathways. This will enable doctors, nurses and Advanced Care Practitioners (ACPs) to treat elderly patients with an acute medical condition from their own home. The team will work to provide high level clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions virtually and alongside colleagues in the community. This programme will put more of a focus on working with the community to treat elderly and frail patients, reducing hospital admissions and freeing up beds, and allowing more elderly patients to remain in the comfort of their own home for treatment.
