This role combines hands-on service delivery with dedicated educational development within the specialty. These posts are not recognised UK training posts. Nevertheless, MYDoc doctors will have a named supervisor and be supported in undertaking scheduled educational opportunities to consolidate and develop. An Introduction to the Specialty The Emergency Medicine Service is delivered on two sites within the Trust with the Pinderfields hospital site designated as a Major Trauma Unit, Dewsbury is a local ED and Pontefract was one of the first Urgent Treatment Centres in England. Our multi-disciplinary team of dedicated and committed professionals provide high quality care and treatment in what is, when combined across the three hospitals, consistently ranked as one of the top five busiest Urgent and Emergency Medicine services in England handling around 250,000 attendances each year. The majority of our Consultant team have developed special interests and have been given the time to chase their own passions and interests. This allows them to really support our clinical fellows in developing their own special interests as theyve already been there. Outlined below are some of the things we are proud of as a service: We are an Associate Teaching Hospital and have won national awards for the quality of our undergraduate Emergency Medicine teaching programme. Were closely involved in the West Yorkshire Acceleration Zone looking at trialling different projects to improve our Emergency Care Standard performance.

The last one involved setting up an Advanced Casualty Clearing Station (ACCS) close to a major shopping centre as part of an exercise looking at emergency response for a terrorist incident. Ours is the only region in the country which has a MERIT response like this, meaning we are one of only five acute trusts in the country which undertakes these types of response and sends a team to an ACCS. We do incident training every three years in terms of live exercising and all the ED staff get the opportunity to do a table-top exercise each year. The Trust has spent the last three years reconfiguring services across its hospitals Pinderfields, Dewsbury and Pontefract one of the largest reconfiguration projects in the country. Weve been involved in the first few of an ongoing series of Rapid Process Improvement Workshops (RPIW). These have been instigated as part of a new Quality Improvement Process for the Trust and they are based on the world-renowned Virginia Mason lean production methodologies. We have a great track record in developing our doctors and providing robust educational opportunities for all staff within the service. The Service Role These posts will be part of our cross-site trainee rota, which is compliant with working time regulations and the 2016 junior doctors contract, averaging 48 hours per week. Acute care at Mid-Yorkshire is now focussed primarily on our Pinderfields Hospital site although all our doctors are involved in delivering care to patients on all our sites, with support and supervision from senior colleagues. The main duties of the post will include: Provision of care with responsibility for the management of patients presenting to the ED. Referral of patients to other specialities as appropriate Involvement in specialty and cross-specialty multi-disciplinary teams and meetings Involvement in relevant administration duties Teaching and supervision of junior medical staff and other clinicians as appropriate Active involvement in audit and clinical governance including service improvement activities The above list is not intended to be exhaustive and it is likely duties may be altered from time to time in the light of changing circumstances and after discussion with the post holder. Terms & Conditions and Tenure Employment will be as a MYDoc Registrar on Trust Terms and Conditions of Service. The MYDoc Trust Registrar posts are initially offered on a fixed term contract for 12 months after this extension on a mutually agreed basis is possible. Pay Scale These roles are equivalent to a doctor on specialty training programmes and will be paid on the equivalent pay scale. The basic salary for this role is £61,825 per annum. The MYDoc Training Programme Educational Input & Recognition Doctors appointed to a MYDoc post will receive relevant educational input. Each doctor will be allocated an Educational Supervisor and will be required to develop a Personalised Work Schedule. The weekly timetable should include a balance of these activities appropriate to your grade, role and training requirements. You are required to maintain a dialogue with your Clinical and Educational Supervisor to ensure the balance of these activities meets your developmental needs. Whilst not a recognised training post Doctors successfully completing their training programme will be awarded a Certificate of Achievement from the Trust.

There will be an annual review of progress based on evidence within the portfolios including the WPBA, 360 assessment, personal reflections and CPD, covering both clinical, personal and professional development, and a Certificate of Achievement (appropriate to that year/level of training) will be issued.
