About us
The Medical Service
Medicine in Jersey is fully age
and specialty integrated. There are three medical wards, Bartlett, Rozel and Corbiere. An inpatient rehabilitation unit
is sited on Plemont. There is a sixteen bed Acute Assessment Unit situated on a
separate ward. Currently there are four Acute Consultant Physicians who run the
Acute Admissions Ward and the remaining eight Consultants are responsible for
in-patient care, ably supported by 8 Staff Grades/Associate Specialists,
Clinical Fellows (the advertised posts) and 8 FY1/FY2 doctors.
The timetable shows that a ward
round is conducted on a daily basis by senior clinical staff, either Consultant
or Middle Grade and so Clinical Fellows and Foundation Doctors are well
supported in their day-to-day work. There should be a maximum of 3 junior doctors per team.
If there are more, then they will be asked to support other colleagues and
teams to cover shortages and workload.
Whilst on call, the SAS doctor
is responsible for seeing patients referred by the Emergency Department and
reviewing patients admitted to the AAU by GPs in conjunction with the AAU FY2.
Clinical Fellows tend to see new patients admitted through the ED but support
the Clinical Fellow on the Admissions Unit when it is particularly busy, and
FY1 on the wards.
