• Monitoring activity to ensure patient safety.
• Write clear, concise and contemporaneous patient focused medical records
• Practice with honesty and integrity and in full compliance with the GMC standards for good clinical practice.
• Ensuring that any reports, letters or other communications required by the Division, Trust, or other bodies (Police, HM Coroner, Risk management etc) relating to patient are completed in a timely fashion.
You will work within the bounds of your level of competence, and you will be fully supported by the Emergency Department and specialities. In addition the trust will consider request for additional training, tailored to the individual Doctor’s career development, and needs.
