Summary
The department of Medicine is run on an integrated acute medicine and care of the elderly ward-based system, with each ward having at least three consultants, two Specialty Registrars, three F2+ trainees and three F1 trainees. F1 trainees are regularly rostered to clerking shifts on AAU under the supervision of the physician of the day. In the evenings and at weekends medical wards are covered by two F1 trainees, with support from the rest of the on-call team. At night the hospital is covered by a hospital at night team run by the specialist registrar and including F2 trainees and enhanced trained nurses. F1 trainees no longer work at night within the hospital. Formal handover to the hospital at night time is an important component of the post for the on call F1 trainees. Each ward has their own ward-based team of residents including combinations of FY1, FY2, ST1-2 trainees and now this Junior Clinical Fellow role. Each ward also has ward based StR(s) and a combination of medical and COE consultants. The division runs a physician of the day system, to cover the acute on call and provide a daily post take ward round of those admissions not retained in AAU or the short stay facilities. Each ward has a daily consultant-led multidisciplinary board round to facilitate early discharge and to ensure all patients have daily consultant input/plans in place.
