Job summary
We are looking to suitably qualified doctors to fill at least short-term gaps in our IMT3 posts from 7th Feb 2024. These are 1 in Acute Internal Medicine(AIM) and 1 in Diabetes and Endocrinology. These are to fill Deanery rota gaps.
These posts will provide opportunities to obtain sign-off of Capabilities in Practice for IMT2 and IMT3 equivalence for those aiming to apply for standalone IMT3 posts or Higher Specialist Training. Many of our consultants are 'home-grown' NGH trained and there is a hospital wide ethos of supporting trainee doctors in developing their careers.
General medicine at Northampton General Hospital provides trainees with the opportunity to gain experience of all the medical specialties on one site. Working on the wards provides excellent experience of the full range of medical problems. The acute medicine is truly unselected, and many trainees have gained invaluable experience at the hospital before moving onto their chosen specialty. The department is well supported by consultant staff with five consultant acute and specialist physicians on the Acute Admissions wards daily and senior ward rounds on all the medical wards. There is a busy Same Day Emergency Centre also staffed by the Acute Team.
Main duties of the job
These posts will be based at Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust and work within General Medical directorate.
The AIM post works on the Nye Bevan Assessment Hub, ED and SDEC according to service needs and the career aspirations of the successful applicants.
The D & E post works on the D & E specialist ward Creaton.
At present neither post has out-of-hours commitments but that may change. Extra OOH shifts are often available for those who wish to do them via Patchwork.
Please note these posts are not for MTI status and NGH cannot offer this within Medicine.
The post holder will work alongside their ward team of Consultants, SpRs, SCF and other junior medical staff along with all other multidisciplinary health care professionals.
The successful candidate will be allocated an educational and clinical supervisor and encouraged to complete training assessments in line with other trainees at the same level. This includes access to our highly successful Simulation Suite. and to the tailor-made IMT3 training programme.
We wish to appoint candidates with a good foundation in Medicine who are looking towards applying for HST in Acute or General Medicine or Diabetes and Endocrinology.
Most of the training will be on-the-job with close involvement of the consultants. The department has a weekly lunchtime teaching session and there will be opportunity to develop as an educator through support and training of junior colleagues.
