An indicative job plan/timetable for this post with indicative Programmed Activities (PAs) is provided below, but this will normally be re-assessed after 3 months of appointment to ensure it meets the needs of the service.

Job plans are reviewed annually, and applicants are encouraged to study the provisions of the Consultant Contract for England 2003 under which this post is offered. Supporting Professional Activities (SPAs): Delivery of the highest quality service possible is the main priority of this department. This means integrating evidence-based practice, research, audit, and other aspects of clinical governance, particularly the delivery of quality training and risk management. There are many areas for service development and requirements for working with all healthcare professionals and specialties. There are a number of different shifts within the annualised acute medicine consultant rota: the following description covers the shifts duties, the average workload and the shift frequency.

We have adopted annualised job plans and the exact timetable of shifts are allocated to take account of annual leave requests and other agreed specialty activities whilst maintaining cover in all clinical areas. There are opportunities to swap with colleagues where the need arises after the rota is written. The exact allocation of shifts on the rota also takes into account individual skills and preferences across the Consultants contributing to the Acute Medicine Rota, eg some consultants contributing to a higher proportion of SDEC or take shifts. Dedicated time for DCC admin duties (reviewing results, attending MDT meetings, dictating letters, virtual clinics, etc) is included in the AMU and SDEC shifts (0.25 PA per shift). On Call Duties There is evening and weekend scheduled working as per above shifts description. This post does not currently include participation in the overnight or weekend out of hours on-call rota, therefore no on-call supplement applies.
