Job description
Job responsibilities
Flight Transfer
Patients being transferred acutely to tertiary centres such as the Cardiothoracic Unit in Oxford and to the Neurosurgical Unit in Southampton for further specialist treatment are accompanied by a doctor and a trained nurse. Courses in in-flight transfers are provided, and post holders will be on a rota of 1:7 for such activity during normal working hours and at weekends, if rostered on-call. Accompanying transfers that take place out of hours will be on a voluntary basis and will command additional remuneration.
Additional Professional Development
Medical students from Southampton University are attached for 8-week rotations in their final year. Clinical Fellow post holders have enjoyed interaction with these enthusiastic trainees and have provided bedside teaching in addition to that provided by Consultants and Middle Grade Doctors. Clinical Fellows have organised mock OSCE in the 7th and 8th weeks of their attachment in preparation for their final examinations. This has been a mutually beneficial exercise.
The Education Centre is a shared facility for the Health and Care Jersey department and is equipped with a newly built Clinical Skills Lab which has assisted Clinical Fellows in self-learning, particularly in procedural work and optimising their cardio-respiratory resuscitation skills, and in teaching their more junior colleagues both medical students and nursing staff.
The medical library is well stocked with books, journals and computer facilities, including internet access.
The following is an example schedule of a typical working week. The duties of the post holder are expected to be flexibly worked, as inevitably a number of activities run concurrently.
