For the duration of your AEC post, you will have the option to take up a 10% (averaging half day per week) Teaching Fellow role for the Undergraduate Medical Students allocated to the unit. Acute Assessment Unit (AAU) This is a 34-bed unit based across two adjacent wards (Mary Seacole North and Mary Seacole South). This is staffed on a daily basis by 2 Consultants, a registrar, 2-4 SHOs and 2-3 FY1s with daily Consultant led ward rounds. Wider AMU staffing includes a dedicated and highly trained nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and MDT team, a frailty team, pharmacy and a full complement of support staff. There are full cardiac monitoring facilities and isolation facilities, with a varied patient mix including a wide range of infectious diseases, patients requiring NIV or HFNO, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, complex diagnostic conundrums and acute oncology patients. As a London based DGH, we admit all patients under the Acute Medicine team and have a close working relationship with the ITU/ CCOT, local medical specialities and tertiary centres to provide excellent patient centred care. Ambulatory Emergency Care (AEC) The award-winning Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit is staffed by a dedicated team of senior and junior doctors and Advanced Clinical Practitioners who see acutely unwell patients, in an outpatient same day emergency care (SDEC) setting, providing an alternative to admission for many patients. The ambulatory care unit has a dedicated Consultant of the day who supervises the diagnosis, management and treatment of patients on the unit and provide teaching and support for the many procedures (chest drains, ascitic drains, lumbar punctures, infusions and diagnostic imaging) which take place there. Option for Teaching Fellow element For 2 of the 4 posts (to be determined at interview), you will have the option to take up a 10% Teaching Fellowship which will make up a half day/week (approximately, dependent on the Academic Timetable) during your AEC post (6 out of the 12 months). This will be supervised by the Acute Medicine Undergraduate Lead and the role will primarily be in delivering the teaching timetable for the medical students rotating within the department, including their procedural and case based training. Acute Medical Take This is staffed by 1 SpR, 2 SHOs and 1 FY1. There is an average intake of 30 patients over 24 hours. During the day, there is a hot post-take consultant ward round providing the opportunity for immediate feedback and learning on a 1:1 basis. Overnight, you will be supervised by a medical registrar on site and GIM consultant by phone. There is a strong and supportive CCOT (critical care outreach team) who are available alongside the ITU team. As a DGH, most tertiary services are via liaison with other London centres such as UCH and Barts and RLH, with whom we have strong links.
