- Maintain professional standards and obligations as set out from time to time by the General Medical Council (GMC) and comply with GMC's guidance on 'Good Medical Practice' as amended or substituted from time to time.
A doctor is responsible for carrying out any work related to and reasonably incidental to the duties set out in the Job Plan such as:
- The keeping of records and the provision of reports.
- The proper delegation of tasks.
- Maintaining skills and knowledge.
Doctors will be expected to be flexible and to cooperate with reasonable requests to cover for their colleagues' absence where they are safe and competent and where it is practicable to do so.
About us
You would be joining a multi award winning team (HSJ Winner for Emergency Care in 2017, 1st place Royal College of Emergency Medicine, Improvement Project of the Year 2018, HSJ Patient Safety shortlist for Best Partnership Solution for improving patient safety in 2019), who were graded as Outstanding for Leadership in the latest Care Quality Commission assessment in 2018. Consistently providing examples of best practice and excellence, the team is proud to have been featured in several NHSI and ECIST information videos. The Emergency Department performs well against the 4-hour and our Ambulance Turn Around target and is consistently within the top 20 Trust's nationally for our performance.
We are a level 2 trauma unit and actively contribute to the regional trauma network. We run a single front door model where we have 24/7 co-located primary care service, where we stream circa 20-22% of attendances from ED to primary care. We have a fully integrated frailty and discharge service at our front door, including therapy and social care.
Our new, recently built Same Day Emergency Care Unit (SDEC) running 7am - midnight 7 days a week supports the Emergency Department with several pathways supporting admission avoidance and improving flow throughout. Our highly regarded High Intensity Service User programme is led by Nurse Specialists and supported with Consultant input to work with patients who frequently attend ED with the aim in reducing the frequency they use the service.
