Job description
Job responsibilities
The Specialist is an established role in our department that supports experienced and motivated colleagues in working alongside consultant colleagues in a leadership role in Acute Medicine. The post also aims to support colleagues in completing a CESR qualification for a future consultant post if they so wish. With this in mind, we are looking for high-performing individuals to join our existing team of Acute Medicine Consultants at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. We currently have a team of thirteen Acute Medicine Consultants and Specialists who are supported by a wider team of consultant colleagues (with areas of specialty interest including Respiratory, Diabetes, Infectious Disease, Renal and Intensive Care) to manage patients within our service.
Candidates are required to have MBBS or an equivalent primary medical qualification, have 12 years of clinical experience since their primary medical qualification and have 6 years of experience in Acute Medicine at SAS level.
Our department includes an Acute Medical Unit (AMU) and Short Stay ward as well as a Same Day Emergency Care Unit (SDEC).

The standard job plan is 10PA but less-than-full-time working is welcomed. The breakdown of job plans will be agreed with the successful candidates, using a standardised tool to ensure parity between colleagues.
The post attracts 10 PAs, including 1.5 core SPA in the expectation that career-grade medical staff will undertake additional roles as part of their normal agreed job plan. This will be increased according to additional contributions (e.g. clinical and education supervision of junior doctors). The appointee will have responsibilities across the department, but there will be opportunities to develop subspecialty interests depending on experience and service needs. This department embraces flexible working and candidates are encouraged to approach the leadership team to enquire further.
The appointee will work in accordance with the Trust's standard operating procedures and policies. They will commit to attending accredited conferences and meetings to maintain their continuing professional development, in line with national CME requirements, as well as completing mandatory training. The appointee will be accountable to the CSL. The appointee will also participate in an annual job planning and appraisal process as required by the GMC.
