The post-holder will be expected to participate fully in the clinical work of the department, providing high standards of care for both in-patients and outpatients. The responsibility of the hand-over, ward round, in-patient care, and clerking of the emergency patients with the support of the on-call registrar and the help of the foundation year trainee will be the prime job. Safe hand-over of the patients admitted overnight or staying over the weekend will be the post-holder's responsibility. This will be shared with the foundation year trainee.
The specialty doctor will be expected to help in outpatient activity - although no assigned clinic will be given, after completion of the inpatient activity, the SHO will need to partake in the clinical activity. Involvement in the running of the weekly MDT is expected, and this job offers learning opportunities as the surgical department holds weekly teaching sessions and the hospital has weekly teaching sessions for the FY2 doctors. In addition, the post-holders will be expected to play a full part in clinical governance activity. Currently, there is a monthly Trust-wide Urology Governance meeting and there are monthly audit meetings.
There will also be administrative duties for the post-holder as well as a supervisory responsibility for the junior members of the team.
