Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic, forward-thinking Emergency Medicine clinician who wishes to develop higher level skills in Emergency Medicine combined with leadership, management, quality improvement and service development.
The Trust is looking to appoint a Chief Registrar in Emergency Medicine to continue its very successful previous appointments to Chief Registrar within both Emergency Medicine, Ambulatory Medicine and Acute Medicine. These posts are supported by the Royal College of Physicians, Royal College of Emergency Medicine and Health Education England and are aimed to help trainees develop key skills that will equip them for their career as a consultant.
Support will be given from the consultant body as well as from key leaders within the Trust.
Main duties of the job
OUH offers this role as an opportunity for advanced training that is complementary to existing specialist curricula. The post is open to any EM middle grade ST3+ and is especially suited to senior clinicians. Applications are open to trainee and non-trainee ED doctors. Thames Valley EM trainees will be able to apply for the post as an in-training programme opportunity, with clinical proportion (50-60%) contributing to training progression. EM trainees from other geographical areas would need to consider OOPE or OOPT application. EM middle grade clinicians not on a training programme could consider application as a free standing 12 month contract, or a via secondment if locally agreed.
More than 12 months experience working in a UK Emergency department is an essential criteria for application.
Job responsibilities
Clinical
60% of basic time will focus on delivering and leading clinical care within OUHs Emergency Departments the John Radcliffe and Horton Hospital sites. A full shift-based Emergency Medicine rota including out of hours work will proportionally reflect those working on the same rota tier. This will include clinical work in the day, evening, night and weekends.
In aggregate, 40% of basic time (in-hours) will be allocated to non-clinical time supporting service transformation, project delivery and leadership skill development. Delivering this will require close work with management teams, to initiate and develop projects including those identified by the Chief Registrars. This protected time also includes access to the prestigious national training program delivered by the RCP, further details on the RCP Chief registrar website.
All activities will embrace the Trusts vision of patient-centered service transformation and be aligned with the Future Hospital Commissions recommendations for ambulatory and same-day emergency care: with greater vertical and horizontal integration of acute services transcending traditional hospital-community and intra-hospital barriers. Such activities will complement Trust service improvement initiatives, and will have patient safety and the delivery of high-quality, better safe, compassionate care at their core.
