The appointee will be expected to participate in commitments along with consultant colleagues to provide full Clinical Services in Ophthalmology and participate in Medical Audit. The post holder will work with colleagues to provide a comprehensive and co-ordinated Ophthalmology service across the Trust and will join with fellow consultants in running the service.
The post holder will be expected to attend clinical meetings and to take part in continual medical activities in line with Royal College guidelines. The Trust runs regular meetings with GP’s, and the post holder will be encouraged to participate in these activities. Study leave for Continuing Medical Education is available as provided for under the Terms and Conditions of Service for Hospital Medical and Dental staff. The post holder will support the delivery of the National Health Service Plan, which includes Direct and Partial Booking of Outpatients, and the introduction of Booked Admissions within Ophthalmology Day Surgery.
The job plan on appointment will consist of a split of 7.5:2.5 DCC/SPA. The SPA component is made up of core activities (appraisal, revalidation, CME, routine departmental meetings etc.) and non-core activities. Non-core activities are discussed and agreed within the Trust (via an agreed tariff and, on occasion, through ad personal agreement). Non-core SPA may reflect activities such as educational supervision, research, leadership and quality improvement. Following appointment, non-core SPA may be used to participate in our consultant development programme, or in acquiring or consolidating specific skills and expertise. Non-core SPA is only available if specific activities and objectives are mutually agreed in job planning.
