Duties of the Post
1. Documentation: It is essential to appropriately document history taking, examination, investigations requested with results, and a plan of action to discharge after treatment or admit (document time of action for every step).
2. Immediate Discharge Letters (IDL): The postholder will be trained in the techniques of composing discharge letters, which should be completed electronically before discharge and sent promptly to the General Practitioners.
3. Cardiac Arrest: The postholder may form part of the Cardiac Arrest team on site and may be required to undergo resuscitation training.
4. Rota: The posts are full shift and involve working both in-hours and out of hours. Doctors should not leave the hospital when on duty without permission from the Consultant or his/her Deputy. The Trust has a robust absence management policy which must be followed, e.g., if calling in sick. Absence is always followed up with a return to work interview to ensure that support is in place.
5. Supervision/Training: Trust doctors will have a named clinical supervisor and will be supervised in addition by consultants, registrars, and senior nursing staff as appropriate. Consultants, Associate Specialists, and Registrars are available on the shop floor to provide supervision and opinions for patient management.
