Job summary
These posts are in addition to our existing establishment of 22 middle grade level doctors within the Medical Division at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The current middle grade establishments consist of 7 IMT3s and 15 Deanery ST4 + in various specialties.

The current general medical on-call cover consists of 2 registrars 0800-2100 daily and overnight.

When not on-call there is flexibility in which specialty each post can be based in with at least 4 months in Acute Medicine.

We have opportunities in Respiratory, Frailty, Acute Medicine and Diabetes and Endocrinology. We can therefore accommodate the preferences of any potential applicant, and offer registrar level training in any of these specialties subject to availability.

The posts currently available are for a years fixed term.

Main duties of the job
The post holder will take part in the middle grade on-call rota, including night shifts and weekends. When on-call one registrar runs the medical take in the emergency department, and one supervises and supports the ward cover medical team. There is a full team of juniors both on the take and covering the ward.

The on-call frequency is approximately 1:10 weekday nights (Mon-Thurs), 1:10 weekend days and 1:10 weekend nights.

When not on-call, the post holder will be able to work in a department of their choosing, subject to availability, with at least 4 months in Acute Medicine. The job plan will depend on which department that is, and be open to discussion, depending on the training needs of the individual and the workload of the department. It is likely this will be a combination of inpatient ward cover and outpatient clinics and/or procedures.
