The Post
The post will be for one year in the first instance.
The appointee will primarily work as part of a dynamic and flexible team comprising of a growing team of Acute Physicians in looking after patients in General Medicine whilst providing additional support for the development of services within General Medicine and also providing senior cover in addition to participating in the Registrar on-call rota.
Responsibilities will include demonstrating good leadership and providing supervision for junior staff. There will be involvement in regular teaching programme as well as participating in weekly meetings and monthly audit meetings
The post has generally been regarded as a tremendously helpful ‘stepping stone’ to a training position either within Acute Medicine or another medical speciality as there are plenty of cogent learning and developmental opportunities including the chance to write up and publish case reports, reviews and quality improvement projects. Our past registrars have invariably gone on to become highly confident and successful senior doctors.
