Summary
RCP approval pending. The job consists of roughly 7.5 sessions of direct patient related activity in rheumatology, 2.5 PAs of Supporting Professional Activities. In brief the patient related activity comprises 3 weeks of predominantly outpatient work, with every fourth week being predominantly ward / referral work as Consultant of the week (please see example timetable at end of job description.) It is expected that the appointee would run their clinics to Royal College guidelines with 6 new patients or 12 follow ups or a combination per 1 PA clinic session. If specialist / complex clinical services are developed, then this may reduce numbers of patients expected. Where there is travel between sites travel time would appropriately reduce the clinic time / activity. There is no out of hours on call commitment for Rheumatology, but it is expected that consultants would support the medical on call service with urgent Rheumatological advice if required. Facilities are available for home working up to 1 day a week, currently SPA does not have to be undertaken on site.
