Summary
The chief registrar job description is broad in scope in order to allow chief registrars and recruiting organisations to have autonomy and flexibility over the work the chief registrar undertakes. Chief registrars should focus on addressing key local challenges and priorities, which may include some or all of the following: Providing a 'bridge' between senior clinical leaders, managers and the wider resident doctor workforce to support paediatric service improvement, engagement and morale, education and training, workforce and sustainability. Working across teams and boundaries to engage stakeholders in quality improvement and influence change. Working with the other chief registrars in the trust to provide a link between resident doctors and senior leaders and to improve engagement of resident doctors in leadership and management. Involvement in workforce planning and improving the deployment of resident doctors to meet service needs and improve morale. Where possible and appropriate, chief registrars should attend Board and other appropriate management meetings. They should lead any sessions on service development, improvement and transformation for which they have direct responsibility. Somerset Foundation Trust holds a unique opportunity for chief registrars to hold both clinical responsibilities on one site but also experience leadership developmental opportunities and experience on two sites (Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton and also Yeovil Hospital). The CYP & Families service group has a combined leadership structure that supports the acute paediatric & CAMHS services on both sites. Service improvement, for example redesigning pathways, implementing new technology and establishing new services to improve flow and outcomes for patients. The amount of time spent undertaking clinical commitments will be determined by and will vary between 50%--60%. This is to protect the minimum of 40% protected time for chief registrar responsibilities. On-call commitments may vary and will be determined locally.
