Job summary

Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust is seeking an enthusiastic, forward-thinking Consultant to join our well-established team of 13 substantive Consultant Acute Physicians and 2 Associate Specialists. This is a role designed for a permanent, fully CCTd candidate who can preferably work full time, but the department would be willing to review candidates who can work less than full time on a case-by-case basis.

The Acute Medical Unit (AMU) at Queen Alexandra Hospital is currently an area comprised of 118 care spaces for provision of Same Day Emergency Care, Ambulatory Care and a Short Stay Unit. Recruitment to these posts will support the ongoing development of Acute Medicine in Portsmouth, including the expansion of SDEC, developing integrated short stay pathways, and improving seven-day services.

Main duties of the job

We are a busy unit, accepting 60-100 admissions per day. QAH has an unselected general medical take with 80% of medical admissions being via the AMU. The remaining 20% is made up of admissions to the stroke unit, coronary care, respiratory high care and critical care. As such our patients have a wide range of presentations which provides both variety and challenge for a practising acute medical physician.

The provisional job plan is 10PA with 8PA as DCC and 2 for SPA, which will include CPD, supervision, audits/QiP etc.
