This is an initial 12 month locum post in Acute Medicine created in order to help develop further expansion in provision of Acute Medical Care within the trust.  The successful candidate will join the existing  Acute Medicine consultant team in helping to deliver Acute Medicine Services.  Their main responsibilities will be across the Emergency Floor from the Emergency Department and Same Day Emergency Care unit to several Admission Units. 

The Acute Medical Department currently covers several areas including a 136 bedded Acute Medical Unit which incorporates a higher level receiving area referred to as the Acute Care Bay and Acute Frailty Unit; along with a separate Same Day Emergency Care area.

The Acute Medicine Department aims to sustain its position at the forefront of advances in Acute Medicine.  It is developing ambulatory care & triage services to prevent admissions and to offer new options to GPs seeking advice for acutely unwell patients.  It is also developing a new in-reach service to the Emergency Department to facilitate rapid assessment and appropriate management of Medical Patients presenting via the Emergency Department.
