Job description

Job responsibilities

1. Job Summary

A clinical fellow post at Guys and St Thomas offers an exciting opportunity to gain experience in a wide range of complex infection cases expected in a large acute and tertiary referral teaching hospital.

he post may also involve acquiring laboratory skills in Microbiology and Virology and applying these to a ward-based consult service on the Guys, St. Thomas, Royal Brompton or Harefield site, or to looking after infectious diseases in-patients on the St. Thomas site. It may be possible to tailor the location in discussion with the service lead and local training faculty lead.

Specimens are received from a wide range of departments including: Intensive Care Unit, HIV & Genitourinary Medicine, Renal Dialysis and Transplantation, Oncology, Haematology, Orthopaedics, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Haematology, cardiac and lung transplantation, specialist respiratory medicine (including cystic fibrosis), Evelina London Childrens Hospital (including the Neonatal Unit), Obstetrics, and Occupational Health. The Department also provides a comprehensive service for local Primary Care Trusts.

3. Direct clinical responsibilities

Clinical consultation/microbiology & virology laboratory service: The clinical and diagnostic services are fully integrated. Most clinical work involves liaison with the diverse clinical specialities in the Trust. This may be via clinical consults comprising bedside assessment of referred patients or patients with significant microbiological or virological results, or telephone advice.

The Dept supports a wide range of specialist services via MDTs including vascular graft infections, endocarditis, diabetic foot and TB.

There is a specialised inpatient ward with facilities to manage HCID cases and predominantly single room mix for general infection cases.

There is a very large ITU service including a regional severe respiratory failure service.

The trainees work one to one with the infection consultant but are also expected to review referrals on the wards.

4. Clinical service routine

The post holder may be required to undertake other duties in line with the grading of the post as may be required by the head of department. Staff should recognise that job descriptions reflect the core activities of a post at a particular time and that as the Institution and the individual develops there will inevitably be changes in the emphasis and duties of the post. The Trust expects that all staff will recognise this and adopt a flexible approach to work and be willing to participate in training. If changes to a job description become significant the job description should be reviewed formally by the Head of Department and the post holder. At all times staff must conduct themselves and carry out their duties in a manner which supports the Trusts equal opportunities policy and ensues that the working and learning environment provided within the Trust is free from bias or harassment.

The junior doctor accepts that he/she will also perform duties in occasional emergencies in unforeseen circumstances at the request of the appropriate Consultant, in consultation where practicable with his colleagues both junior and senior. It has been arranged between the Professions and the Department of Health that while they will perform such duties, the Secretary of State stresses that additional commitments arising out of this sub-section are exceptional; in particular, the junior should not be required to undertake work of this kind for long periods of time.

5. On-call

The postholder will be on the pay scale commensurate with their grade/experience. Rotations that involve the Guys or St Thomas sites would include an on call commitment at a 1 in 10 frequency weekday nights (Monday-Friday) as first on call for Infection (Microbiology and Virology) advice to the Trust. If on call, the postholder would also be expected to cover the High Consequence Infectious Diseases (HCID) service, if activated, and after appropriate training. This will include being contactable via mobile telephone. The StR on call will be covered at all times by a Consultant Virologist and Consultant Microbiologist from the department. The oncall commitment of this post will be timetabled with other junior medical staff in the Department to accord with the requirements of the New Deal and European Working Time Directive.

This can be discussed further to provide detail on the arrangements which will apply in varying circumstances.

6. Teaching responsibilities

The Departments provide training and teaching for a wide range of professional groups, including postgraduate doctors in training, medical students, nurses, allied health professionals and laboratory staff. On occasion the postholder will be expected to contribute to the teaching of medical students. Especially when they become more senior, they are encouraged to get more involved in postgraduate teaching and teaching of nursing staff and allied health professionals. Attendance at relevant teaching courses run by the Trust is encouraged.

7. Research possibilities

The post holder can be supported to develop R&D skills through participation in ongoing research projects. There are extensive research projects ongoing within the department and a well resource research infrastructure. The CIDR has particular interests in the pathogenesis and epidemiology of hospital-associated infection (especially C. difficile and MDR-Gram negative bacteria), S. aureus bacteraemia, and novel diagnostics, as well as an interest in Covid-19.

8. Clinical audit

There is an active clinical audit programme within theDepartment. The postholder is expected to lead audit projects through the 'audit cycle'. The Trust Clinical Audit Department provides advice and support in all aspects of clinical audit.

9. Management training

Experience should be gained, under supervision, in planning departmental policies and developing leadership qualities to implement them. Post-holders routinely take on responsibilities such as management of the on call rota and organisation of the Tuesday morning educational Seminars. Once post-holders have achieved a certain seniority, they will be expected to attend meetings such as diagnostic service meetings, Infection Control meetings and senior staff meetings. Attendance at appropriate management meetings and training courses is encouraged towards the end of the training programme.

10. University links

Guys, Kings College & St Thomas School of Medicine (GKT) is a School of Kings College London.
