The post-holder will be expected to participate fully in the clinical work of the department,
providing high standards of care for both in-patients and outpatients. The usual working hours are 0800 to 1700 hours. This job does not offer an on-call banding but for those with
experience an opportunity to join the surgical SHO shift could be negotiated. Out of hours
patients are seen initially by the general surgical SHO on-call and referred to the middle grade urological cover who is on-call from home from Royal London Hospital. Patients staying in Newham University Hospital overnight are handed over by the surgical SHO at 0800 hours.
Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers.
The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.
Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.
We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.
The responsibility of the hand-over, ward round, in-patient care and clerking of the emergency patients with the support of the on-call registrar and the help of the foundation year trainee,
will be the prime job. Safe hand-over (virtual or face to face) of the patients admitted over night or staying over the weekend will be the post-holder’s responsibility. This will be shared with the foundation year trainee.
The specialty doctor will be expected to help in outpatient activity - although no assigned clinic will be given but after completion of the inpatient activity the SHO will need to part-take in the clinical activity. This job will provide ample opportunity to assisting and learning to perform flexible cystoscopies, difficult catheterization, peno-scrotal emergency surgery and day case surgery.
Involvement in the running of the weekly MDT is expected and this job offers learning
opportunities as the surgical dept holds weekly teaching sessions and the hospital has weekly teaching sessions for the FY2 doctors.
