Job description

Job responsibilities

Job summary:

To work together with the other palliative medicine consultants in the provision of medical services to patients of St Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich Hospital, James Paget Hospital and East Coast Community Healthcare and to support the related multidisciplinary staff. To develop services and improve integrated working between local Palliative Care providers (Hospice, Hospital and in the wider community of the Integrated Care Systems). This post will predominantly support provision of community palliative care services.

General

This post is 0.9 WTE. Terms and Conditions will be based on the current NHS Consultant Contract (see Job Plan below) with the postholders contract held at the Hospice. There will be honorary contract with the relevant partner organisations as required.

The new post holder will join a growing medical team who work collaboratively and supportively to cover services across the two service areas, and rotation of area of responsibility is usual.

Current Medical consultant provision is 4.9 WTE of which 0.2 WTE supports Ipswich hospital alongside another 1.65 WTE consultant. There will be cover from the other consultants for leave and as need arises. There are also 3 full time Nurse Consultants embedded within the team, one of whom provides clinical and service development support for Great Yarmouth and Waveney services.

There are two Specialty Registrars on the East of England Palliative Medicine Specialty Training Scheme. There are also four middle grade doctors providing support to both the IPUs as well as the outpatient clinical areas. There are 6 GP vocational training scheme doctors on attachment rotating with other specialties and two foundation year doctors.

The team works closely alongside the full multidisciplinary team including nurses, Clinical Nurse Specialists, healthcare assistants, nurse associates, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, counsellors, spiritual care workers and volunteers.

The On call commitment is currently approximately 1 in 8 second on call with 5% availability supplement. This provides telephonic medical and symptom control advice to St Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich Hospital, West Suffolk Hospital and St Nicholas Hospice Care in Bury St Edmunds, James Paget Hospital (Gorleston), and community calls in Suffolk and the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area. This may involve taking calls from GPs, hospital doctors, nurses or allied healthcare professionals. There is no formal expectation of face to face reviews on call but should the consultant be on site during that time then this time will be deducted from their clinical PAs in the next week and remunerated accordingly. There may be the need to do occasional first on-call on an emergency basis and this will be compensated by a PA off in lieu for each PA done as first on-call (week night equals 1 PA and weekend equals 6 PAs).

Formal consultant appraisal is completed by the hospice appraisal team with St Elizabeth Hospice as the designated body and the Medical Director of the Hospice as Responsible Officer. The postholder will be supported through the appraisal and revalidation process.

All new consultants can be mentored by an established consultant within the organisation or by one of the consultants from the neighbouring Palliative Care service providers to enable them to settle into the post and to support them in their initial years as a consultant. Established consultants will also have access to mentoring or support as needed.

The postholder will have shared administrative support from a pool of administrators and will have a dedicated computer station in a shared office. Additional office facilities will be available if attending other sites of work. IT team support is available.

About our services

St Elizabeth Hospice serves the population of Ipswich, East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney, and supported almost 4,000 patients and their families last year. It was established in 1989 and has an 18-bedded inpatient unit in Ipswich as well as a substantial community team, a virtual ward and a 24/7 telephone advice line called OneCall which is at the core of the Palliative and End of Life Care Co-ordination Hub.

The hospice delivers outpatient clinics, therapy, counselling and physiotherapy services, with a comprehensive bereavement programme called LivingGrief that supports families across East Suffolk. It also delivers an education programme collaboratively with St Helena Hospice in Colchester and Farleigh Hospice in Chelmsford, and works with the University of Suffolks Health and Wellbeing Institute.

The hospice is committed to encouraging Compassionate Communities as a public health approach to improving cultural confidence in supporting one another through the experience of dying, death and grief. Active research links are being established with University of Suffolk (UoS), University of East Anglia (UEA) and University of Cambridge. A research facilitator works as part of the team supported by NIHR funding.

Since 2019, the hospice has been sub-contracted by East Coast Community Healthcare (ECCH) to deliver specialist palliative care in Great Yarmouth and Waveney, six specialist palliative care beds within Beccles Hospital, a specialist community team and providing in-reach support to the James Paget University Hospital. Outpatient clinics operate out of Beccles Hospital, the Louise Hamilton Centre in Gorleston, Martham Health Centre and the Pear Tree centre in Halesworth. Our strategic partner ECCH hold the contract for Community Services for Great Yarmouth and Waveney, as part of the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System.

St Elizabeth Hospice delivers a transition programme for young adults moving on from the care of the local childrens hospice (EACH). This transition programme is called Zest and offers exchange days, medical support, social activity days and nurse-led short break respite care. There are currently 50 young adults registered with Zest and is being gradually extended to a wider geographical footprint.

In East Suffolk, the hospice works closely with Ipswich Hospital and is a full member of the Ipswich and East Suffolk Alliance. In Great Yarmouth and Waveney the hospice has representation on the Place Board. It is anticipated that the hospice will be fully represented on both Suffolk and Norfolk Die Well programme boards following the outcome of the ICB restructure.
