Summary
Please see detailed job description and person specification attached. The appointee will be expected to play a role in educating undergraduate students, postgraduate doctors, and nurses in all specialties. We expect all Consultants at the Whittington to get thoroughly immersed in undergraduate teaching and assessment. There are many pathways to further the medical education training and scholarship for those committed and interested. Consultants have continuing responsibility for the care of patients in their charge and for the proper functioning of their department. They are expected to undertake administrative duties associated with the care of their patients and the running of their clinical department. The appointee will be expected to take responsibility for maintaining his/her continuing medical education to the standard set by the relevant Royal College, and to plan their continuing professional development jointly with the Trust to develop the clinical service. All consultants will take part in annual appraisal and job planning, and to agree a personal development plan each year which reflects the developmental needs of both the individual and the service. Consultants are expected to assume responsibility, both singly and corporately, for the management of junior medical staff. They are expected to be responsible for approving and monitoring junior staff rotas, leave and locum arrangements. Consultants are expected to concern themselves with the professional development, both clinical and personal, of their trainees. In this respect each Consultant acts as a personal educational adviser to one or more trainees. Consultants are required to participate in setting learning agreements and formally appraising junior staff and will themselves be appraised in accordance with the policies of the Trust. Medical administration The appointee will be expected to take part in the administration of the department and work with clinical and managerial colleagues on matters relating to the clinical service. The appointee will also be encouraged to take part in management concerning Whittington Health as a whole. Audit The appointee will be required as part of their duties to participate in the audit and clinical effectiveness activities overseen by the audit and effectiveness department; to attend the Training and Audit half days and to ensure that trainees within the department also take part in these activities. Research and Development Whittington Health is a research active organisation, where participation in research is encouraged and supported. The appointee will be expected to play an active role in delivering the Whittington Health research strategy that aims to increase the number of National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) portfolio studies that open and recruiting. This will allow more patients to benefit from participation in research studies. In addition, the research strategy aims to increase the number of studies that investigate integrated care and the benefits that our patients experience from Whittington Healths formation as an integrated care organisation. Protected time for conducting funded research may be negotiated as part of the annual job planning process. Honorary senior lecturer The successful candidate for this consultant post will be eligible to apply for Honorary Senior Lecturer or Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer as applicable at UCL on the understanding that they will participate in undergraduate teaching, including acting as an examiner, and/or support and facilitate research activities.
