Description
The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust (PAH) is looking to appoint a Locally Employed Doctor Registrar grade (LED) to work within our Geriatric Medicine department. The post holder will be based on one of the Geriatric Medicine wards overseeing the care of the inpatient on that ward alongside the consultant.
The successful applicant will jointly be responsible for supervising Care of the Elderly ward in-patients and resident doctors, outpatient clinics and ward referrals from other firms (with consultant supervision).
The post holder will conduct ward rounds with the resident doctors, ensuring all patients are seen daily. This will develop leadership and supervision skills as the Registrar is a key link in co-ordinating resident doctor leave on the ward and ensuring that all patients are safely reviewed when shortfalls occur.
The post holder will participate in the Medical On Call Rota and assist in teaching and supervising the FY1 and FY2 and IMT 1/2 in practical procedures and in their clinical learning.
The post operates at the ST3 level or above (dependent on the post holder’s experience and qualifications) within the firm structure and as such is most suitable for a candidate with MRCP wishing to gain further experience at ST level in Care of the Elderly Medicine and General (Internal) Medicine.
The post holder will work closely with the medical team and wider multidisciplinary clinical team in his/her area of work to deliver high quality patient care. The post holder will also support the consultant in driving forward service improvements according to the changing and increasing needs of the population.
