Description
This Consultant in Acute Medicine post is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-paced, innovative, improvement-driven service within Croydon University Hospital.
The Acute Medical Unit (AMU) within Croydon University Hospital has 46 beds where acutely unwell medical patients are admitted either directly from their GP's care, or most commonly, from the Emergency Department. Once in AMU patients are assessed, stabilised and have rapid initiation of evidence-based treatments before being referred and moved "downstream" to specialist medically "zoned" wards elsewhere in the Trust (e.g. a respiratory or gastroenterology ward) for appropriate specialist medical care.
The post holder should be able to fulfil the on-call commitments as part of service delivery, which includes:
- 12-hour weekday on-call duties (5 in 9 weeks)
- Acute Medical Unit weekend on-call cover (1 in 9)
- GIM on-call weekend commitments (once a year)
Croydon Health Services cares for local people at Croydon University Hospital, Purley Memorial Hospital and in clinics and people's homes all across the borough. The borough has one of the youngest populations in London and continues to grow.
We offer many flexible and part-time working opportunities and all of our employees can enjoy a range of staff benefits, including parking, a gym, an active health and wellbeing programme, an on-site nursery and a cycle to work scheme.
