Registrar ST 3 - 5 fixed term post for Hospital at Home Services
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a fixed term registrar (ST3 or above) to join our dynamic, friendly and growing Hospital at Home (H@H) and Acute Medicine services at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust. The fixed term is for an initial period of 6 months extendable to 12 months.
We are pleased to announce a unique and highly rewarding opportunity for a resident doctor at ST3+ level in Higher Specialist Training to join the Hospital at Home (H@H) and Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) services at Darent Valley Hospital. This newly created post is part of a pioneering cross-sector expansion initiative designed to enhance our established care pathways.

The aim of SDEC, H@H and virtual wards is to achieve a reduction of avoidable hospital admissions and to facilitate earlier, safe discharge of patients from the acute services.

A full-time job plan with working hours from 8.30 – 16.30. You will be expected to triage referrals, review patients on the take that may be managed directly under Hospital at Home rather than being admitted to an acute bed, and supporting the step down of patients from the ward. You will be involved in reviewing patients as well as formulating management plans for patients under hospital at Home. You will occasionally accompany nursing staff to visit patients in their own home. You will work seamlessly between SDEC and HAH.
