Clinical The scope of clinical work that the post holder will be called on to contribute will include: Clinical management of in-patients under the care of the ITM team. This may variously include patients admitted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary on Ward 19 (main infection ward, with negative pressure isolation facilities), High Level Isolation Unit (HLIU), Ward 5 (patients with a mix of general medical and infection-related problems, generally of lower acuity and/or complexity), general medical patients boarded to other wards, and joint care of patients under other specialist teams who have been referred to ITM. Contribution to ITM outpatient clinics, including individual consultants general infection clinics along with specialist clinics in Tb, HIV, Viral Hepatitis, Outpatient Antibiotic Treatment (OPAT), Chronic Fatigue and post-COVID syndromes. Out-of-hours. Any post holder may have the opportunity to gain specialty on-call experience by contributing to the ITM out-of-hours rota. This is not mandatory, would receive a level of consultant support appropriate to the individuals level of experience, and can be negotiated separately to the core contract. Administrative Maintaining clear documentation of all clinical activity, including correspondence to GPs. Supporting the timely completion of discharge summaries. Ensuring mandatory documentation for all admitted patients is completed for purposes of audit and quality (e.g. venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, dementia assessments). Research There is no formal research component, although there may be opportunities to contribute to recruitment of patients to clinical trials. This would be contingent on completing training in Good Clinical Practice, which would be supported. Flexibility: In line with the Trusts core value of placing patients at the heart of everything we do, we are developing our service provision to be responsive to the needs of our patients. To meet those needs some staff groups will be increasingly asked to work a more flexible work pattern so that they can offer services in the evening or weekend. As a result any offer of employment to a consultant post will be subject to you agreeing to work a new more flexible pattern or working in the future if required, including evening and weekend work.
