All the doctors working within the Medical Unit will work as a TEAM. Flexibility in cross-over arrangements is expected at times of annual leave, sickness and study leave, or any other absences of colleagues.
Undertaking supervision of junior doctors with the care and management of patients on the medical wards or outlying wards.
Providing cover for general ward duties, e.g., when trainee doctors’ obligatory training coincides with other medical staff commitments.
