Summary
The wards have various amounts of beds. The GP will be expected to undertake proactive ward rounds and respond to concerns from patients or the MDT. They will need to see and assess new admissions, keep notes on Emis, prescribe using the trust ePMA system, refer and arrange investigations as appropriate, communicate effectively with patients, their relatives and the wider MDT, prescribe for discharge and ensure the patients GP is informed of the information they need to know on discharge. The ward work is undertaken Monday to Friday during daytime hours. There is no expectation that the post holder will undertake on call or out of hours working. The role offers opportunity to develop skills in elderly care and the management of frailty. Whilst the wards can be busy there is an opportunity to get to know the patients and their relatives, initiate and complete treatment for patients and provide continuity of care working as part of a team. There is paid study time to allow the development of additional interests or areas of expertise. We would be interested in considering candidates who would be able to work all of or a portion of the sessions.
