Job description
Job responsibilities
The role requires delivering clinical, educational, and managerial services at a consultant level, ensuring the highest professional standards within the department. Collaboration with existing consultants and the multi-disciplinary team is essential for providing a well-led service to patients, including diagnosis, investigations, treatment, and management in accordance with Trust policies.
Direct clinical care is provided to patients across all parts of the department, actively assisting in clinical decision-making. The medical team offers comprehensive senior clinical cover, conducting patient assessments, and providing consultant-level coverage during ward rounds, multi-disciplinary team meetings, and clinics. Consultants review potential admissions and develop assessment strategies to ensure optimal medical care.
Continuing responsibility for patient care and safe handover is emphasized. Engagement in the care of patients outside the department, prompt opinions upon request from colleagues in other specialties, and collaboration with medical, nursing, and management colleagues are all important for delivering department objectives and improving patient experience and quality of care.
Active participation and support in education, research, audit, and clinical governance activities involving a multi-disciplinary workforce is expected. Consultants contribute to the professional training of staff, including teaching sessions for hospital staff and undergraduate/postgraduate students, while also supporting recruitment, appraisal, development, and mentoring activities within the multi-disciplinary team.
The Trust encourages consultants with special interests to pursue development opportunities aligned with department objectives and provide learning opportunities for other staff. Participation in clinical audit activities and undertaking research and continuing medical education, both internally and externally, are encouraged.
Supporting Professional Activities (SPA) are an integral part of the job plan, including activities such as audit, research, formal teaching, post-graduate teaching and training, external teaching and education delivery, clinical management, appraisal, job planning, rota organization, service development, quality improvement work, and major incident planning. SPA activity scheduling is based on individual preference and service needs.
Specific responsibilities will be agreed upon appointment, and the job plan will be reviewed annually to meet the service requirements. Workload balance, equality, and flexibility are prioritised, taking individual preferences into consideration.
The job entails working in the Bradley Unit, a neurorehabilitation facility with 20 beds, and conducting outpatient clinics, including Spasticity Management and general Neurorehabilitation clinics. Continual professional development (CPD) is supported through study days and financial assistance for revalidation purposes.
The role also involves integrating work with the Wolfson Neurorehabilitation Centre at Roehampton and St George's Hospital, fostering a valuable relationship between ASPH and St George's.
