Within the job plan for this position are up to 1.5 PA of DCC to General Internal Medicine (GIM), which is to enable the successful applicant to be part of the team delivering inpatient care to general medical inpatients. The new department of GIM, within the Specialty and Integrated Medicine Clinical Service Unit, will be staffed by 15 dual-accredited physicians from Group 1 specialties. These consultants will work a consultant of the week model of care on a one-in-eight Rota, providing a daily consultant ward round (4-hour duration). This is a brand-new service and will provide exciting opportunities for successful candidates to meet and work with colleagues from allied specialties, be involved in service development and quality improvement, as well as gain useful leadership and management experience. The GIM PAs in colleagues job plans will be reviewed after two years in post, with the likelihood (subject to individual wishes and confirmation with your line manager) of this activity being passed on as new Group 1 specialty consultants are appointed to the organization, allowing incumbents to return that time to their department and allow them to further develop their parent specialty interests. We make a commitment that no longer than 3 years will be needed to be provided in GIM, but we are hopeful that some colleagues will continue to partake in this Rota in the in the long term. "}
