The specialty commitment of this post includes the provision of specialist and general outpatient clinics, consultant to consultant referrals, GP Advice and Guidance and MDT participation. The post holder will also be expected to participate in General Internal Medicine (GIM) and In-reach rota. This responsibility is shared with other departmental colleagues.

The GIM in-patient commitment and the Diabetes specialty in-reaching commitments will rotate in blocks of 4 weeks, to be shared with other consultant colleagues in the department. This duty is to provide ward-based care duty for the teams designated base ward (Ward 12). Elective out-patient work commitment in Diabetes and Endocrinology, will be adjusted accordingly during blocks of GIM / Diabetes in-reaching.

Currently the Acute Medical responsibility of the post is to participate in the B rota, which is a 1:10 rota. The B rota consultant provides out of hours general medical cover (up to 78 years of age). The B rota undertakes the traditional weekday morning and weekend post-take round of patients admitted overnight on a 1:10 rota, the physicians are also available to be called back into the hospital out of hours to deal with clinical problems.

The successful candidate will participate in the B rota and share the ward based in-patient General Medical work. If review of Acute Medical services leads to change in the Acute Medical duty of this post from B rota to A rota participation, a corresponding reduction of the ward-based in-patient General medical duty component of the post will be made and adjusted correspondingly.

The pattern will be subject to change, in order to fit in with the requirements of the Needs Based Care model in the provision of Acute/ General Internal Medicine and Diabetes specialty in-reaching, as well as availability of out-patient clinic spaces. Elective out-patient work commitment in Diabetes and Endocrinology will be adjusted accordingly during blocks of GIM /Diabetes in-reaching
