Consultant Respiratory Physician

at  Somerset NHS Foundation Trust

To provide, to a high standard, the full range of specialist diagnosis, treatment and care to patients requiring respiratory and acute medical services both as in and outpatients, as outlined in the proposed programme. To organise, manage and be responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of patients in Musgrove Park Hospital. Except in emergencies, or where otherwise agreed with your manager, you are responsible for fulfilling the duties and responsibilities and undertaking the Programmed Activities set out in your Job Plan, as reviewed from time to time. You are responsible for the associated duties set out in the Terms and Conditions of Service.
The purpose of including agreed personal objectives in your Job Plan is to set out in clear and transparent terms what you and your clinical manager agree should reasonably be achieved in the year in question. These objectives are not contractually binding in themselves, but you have a duty to make all reasonable efforts to achieve them. You will also be required to participate in an on-call rota to provide emergency cover and to provide enhanced medical / respiratory support to the hospital. When not on an on-call rota, we may in exceptional circumstances ask you to return to site for emergencies if we are able to contact you.
You are not, however, required to be available for such eventualities. Where emergency recalls of this kind become frequent, we will review the need to introduce an on-call rota. For further information or to arrange a visit please telephone or email Dr Janet Fallon, Clinical Service Lead for Respiratory Medicine on 01823 342146, Janet.Fallon@SomersetFT.nhs.uk or email Dr James Gagg, Associate Medical Director, James.Gagg@somersetft.nhs.u
