You must demonstrate behaviour which supports and promotes the Trust vision and values at all opportunities and will be required to support the Lead Clinician, Service Managers and Clinical Director in policy and strategy development as a member of the Division Team.
Your role will include initial clerking in the Acute Take, assessment, diagnosis and management of all patients admitted, ward rounds with relevant consultants and management of all patients on the wards, and any outlying wards, referral of patients to other specialties and necessary.
You will ensure emergency investigations e.g., blood samples for crossmatch, X-ray etc. are done, appropriate discharge of patients after discussion with senior team members, performing bedside practical procedures e.g., venous blood sampling, ABGs, urinary catheter insertion, LP etc. and gaining experience in the outpatient setting whenever appropriate under senior supervision.

We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.

Yes, experience is important but so is outlook – if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.
