Job overview

This is a 12 month post and the appointee will join a dynamic and forward thinking Respiratory team. You will contribute to our urgent and emergency care portfolio, support our inpatient base ward workload in line with the Keogh standards.
The overriding purpose is to support the provision of highest quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement.
A Cardiac and Respiratory Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) service, run jointly with the Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) was established in 2021. It has been very successful and there are ambitious plans to develop it further.

Main duties of the job
Key Tasks for the post include:
- Maintenance of the highest clinical standards in the management of patients.
- To share with colleagues responsibility for the day-to-day management of patients.
- To promote new ways of working and co-ordinating care for patients in the community and to ensure that services are based on effective and integrated partnerships across the health community.
- Supervise and train junior medical staff.
- To be involved in appraising and assessing juniors.
- Teaching, research and administration.
- To actively participate in both departmental and Trust matters concerning Clinical Governance and audit.
Working for our organisation
Our new strategy, 'Leading in healthcare, trusted in communities' was developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners and is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
- high-quality care for all,
- being a great place to work,
- partnerships for impact, and
- research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
- we are compassionate,
- we are proud,
- we are inclusive, and
- we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
