Description:
This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate aspiring to a career in Acute Medicine, Speciality Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care Medicine or General Practice. Posts are available at FY3 to junior registrar level, and may combine acute medicine with teaching, education, simulation, virtual medicine, quality improvement or ultrasound, with an approximately 70:30 split of clinical work to non-clinical work.
The successful applicants will be part of a broad team consisting of 11 Consultant physicians, specialty trainees in acute medicine and internal medicine, specialty doctors, GP trainees, FY3 doctors, physician associates and advanced nurse practitioners. The post can be for 6 or 12 months.
The successful candidate will work within the Department of Acute Medicine, managing patients and providing cover to the Acute Medical Unit 8am-8pm. The Acute Medicine team is responsible for 4 areas, and the post-holder will be involved in the management of patients in all these areas:
The Higher Monitoring Unit (HMU) is a 7 bedded unit for the most severely unwell medical patients outside of ICU. It provides a 2:1 nursing ratio, continuous non-invasive cardiovascular and oxygen saturation monitoring and level 2 respiratory support (non-invasive ventilation and high flow nasal oxygen).
The Acute Medical Unit (AMU) is a 46 bedded unit where acute medicine patients are managed in their first 24 hours of admission, with the aim of diagnosing, treating and discharging patients, or transferring them to a specialty ward.
Same Day Emergency Care, based on the Short Stay Unit aims to diagnose, treat and discharge patients referred to hospital as an emergency on the same day. It has a dedicated nursing and medical team, with access to rapid diagnostics and prompt specialty input if necessary.
The Virtual Acute Care Unit is rapidly developing and expanding, being particularly strong in treating infectious disease on a virtual basis. A dedicated team, led by consultants, review and monitor patients remotely on a daily basis, reducing hospital admissions and allowing people to be cared for in their own homes.
The Royal Berkshire was rated as an ‘Outstanding’ Hospital by the CQC in January 2018, and was ranked as the number one place to complete foundation training in 2017. We are a very large District General hospital, with a successful track record of delivering high quality acute medical and surgical services to 500,000 patients across West Berkshire.
The Trust is one of the largest general hospital trusts in the country, and is Reading’s biggest employer. The hospital provides all those services normally associated with a very large District General Hospital, with all major specialities represented on a single site, including Accident and Emergency, all major Medical Specialties including a Cardiac Care Unit and renal dialysis, Trauma and Orthopaedics, Intensive Care, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, major Surgical Specialties and Paediatrics.
The successful candidate will develop and help deliver a new simulation training programme in Acute Medicine , as well as assisting in the development and delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. Support will be provided by the dedicated hospital simulation team and the acute medicine consultants.
