Job description

Job responsibilities

• The successful candidate will be expected to work with local managers and professional colleagues in the efficient running of services and will share with consultant colleagues in the contribution to management. Subject to the provisions of the Terms and Conditions of Service, the appointee will be expected to observe the Trusts agreed guidelines and procedures, drawn up in consultation on clinical matters, and to follow the local and national employment and personnel policies and procedures. The successful candidate will be expected to make sure that there are adequate arrangements for hospital staff involved in the care of their patients to be able to contact them when necessary.

• All medical and dental staff employed by the Trust are expected to comply with hospital health and safety policies, Clinical Governance, and other risk management policies.

• The successful candidate agrees to have responsibility for the training and supervision of junior medical staff, medical students and other professional staff who work with them and will devote time to this activity on a regular basis. If appropriate, the successful candidate will be named in the contracts of doctors in training grades as the person responsible for overseeing their training and as the initial source of advice to such Doctors on their careers.

• Involvement in research is encouraged. The post holder will be required to submit any service or research development plans, particularly those which have resource implications, to the Clinical Director for agreement prior to implementation.

• For those that are dual accredited, there may also be an opportunity to maintain skills linked to their other specialty, e.g., ITU, Acute Medicine, Paediatrics, which will be included in their core job plan.

• Due to close ties between the hospital and the University of Buckingham Medical School, opportunities will also arise to take on roles in the development of our future doctors which include the delivery of lectures and leading clinical blocks.

This is a 10PA contract, 7.5PA DCC and 2.5 PA SPA, but options may arise to take on additional clinical PAs. Management and leadership roles may attract additional programmed activities and/or a responsibility allowance
