The successful applicant will also be part of the team delivering inpatient care for General Internal Medicine (GIM). The GIM cover will be on a consultant of the week model of care on a one-in-eight rota, providing a daily consultant ward round (4-hour duration). Within the job plan (below) for this position are up to 1.5 PA of direct clinical care (DCC) for this activity.
The GIM PAs will be reviewed after two years in the post, with the likelihood (subject to individual wishes and confirmation with your line manager) of this activity being passed on as new consultants are appointed to the organization. This will allow the incumbents to return that time to their department and allow them to further develop their main specialty interests. The senior management team make a commitment that no longer than 3 years will be needed to be provided in GIM (Divisional Clinical Director of Medicine (Dr Nigel Artis), Director of Operations (Wendy Quinn), and Deputy Director of Operations (Patricia Bannar-Martin). However, for those that wish to continue in this role it could be continued in the longer term.
