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.

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
