Summary
The post involves working on a 1:10 rota in a full shift system. The working hours are in line with the current European Working Time Directive (EWTD), with an average work week comprising of 40 hours.(Currently the rota is subject to change) Administration Administrative duties include the organisation of cases for discussion at the weekly joint cardiac conference and routine letters resulting from clinics and discharges. The standard administrative duties arising from clinical work will be expected to be managed. Provisional Weekly Activities for Clinical Fellows Inpatient Activity: The Clinical Fellow would be expected to support inpatient activity for all children requiring cardiac reviews, would work very closely with the on-call cardiology consultant (who has no other programmed activity during this period) and would be responsible for leading the ward rounds, planning the daily management and treatment of patients on the wards. The Clinical Fellow would be accountable to the on-call cardiologist & cardiac surgeon of the week. Outpatient Activity: We would recommend that the Fellow should be undertaking 2-3 clinics per week. The patients seen in the clinic should be discussed with the consultants, as appropriate. We also run nurse-led clinics, and the Fellow would be expected to work closely with the advanced nurse practitioners (ANP), other senior nursing staff, cardiac physiologists, cardiac surgeons and dieticians to develop working within a multi-disciplinary team. On call: The successful candidate will be expected to undertake on-call commitments planned at a 1:11 full shift rota (subject to change). This also involves on-call cover over the weekends. The individual will be expected to undertake an out-of-hours commitment, which will vary depending on the duties of the post but will not exceed the limits defined in the Terms and Conditions of Service. Working patterns are in accordance with the New Deal on Junior Doctors Hours, and the European Working Time Directive (EWTD). The candidate would be expected to work closely with the PICU and Hospital@Night teams to provide cardiology cover for the hospital and referring centres, with support from the senior cardiologist and the cardiac surgeons. At night, it is expected that the Fellow does a relevant night round with the SHO & nurse-in-charge on both the cardiology wards. It is expected that the candidate would be present for the PICU rounds on the days that he/she is on an on-call day, and at night, to ensure that there is an appropriate hand-over of clinical activities. Please note that current PG doctors are looking at changing to a non-resident on call (NROC) rota. This is under review at present but if approved it would be expected that the fellow works on this rota during all or part of their tenure. A sample NROC rota can be provided if requested.
