Working on MAU, you are responsible for the admission and care of patients referred from General Practitioners and the Emergency Department. Junior medical cover on MAU consists of four Clinical Fellows working alongside three Foundation Year 2 doctors in a full shift rota. You are expected to present their cases during consultant led post take ward rounds, maintain full, clear clinical notes, and make appropriate handover arrangements when going off duty. You are also responsible for looking after ward patients out of regular hours.
Middle grade doctors will be present on site to supervise at all times. The post-holder will be required to be as flexible as possible in respect of working hours, in order to allow some flexibility in the MAU rota.
Junior Doctors may be asked to work on either hospital site in the event of emergencies. The evolution of working practices may also lead to changes in the planned rotations which might involve working on both sites.
Working alongside our consultants in this role you would assess and manage Acute medical common presentations. We are keen to develop our junior doctors; all junior clinical fellows are allocated an educational supervisor who will work with you to ensure you are developing your skills and knowledge within the role, and support you to maintain logbooks and portfolio.
You will have opportunities to get involved in weekly teaching sessions in MAU. As a Junior Clinical Fellow, you can expect extensive training in every aspect of Acute Medicine and ambulatory care. You will also be responsible for teaching undergraduate students firm attached to Acute Medicine and foundation doctors working in Acute Medicine.
This role would enable you to develop your skills and knowledge in acute medicine. We are keen to involve our fellows in quality improvement and service development and we want to ensure we understand any interests you have to enable you to develop in this role and your career.
As a clinical fellow, you will have 10 days study leave per year which you can use to attend relevant professional courses to help develop you.
