2 EMERGENCY MEDICINE DEPARTMENT CONSULTANT IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE THE ROLE

Key priorities for the successful applicant will be delivery of high quality assessment and management of unselected emergency patients attending Glasgow Royal Infirmary whilst assisting colleagues to maintain safe flow within the department. The hospital is fully committed to achieving and sustaining the Scottish Government’s National Unscheduled Care 4 hour ED Target. Our staff have direct admitting rights to acute medicine, cardiology, acute surgery, orthopaedic and gynaecology wards and strive to manage patients to admission with a single ED assessment rather than relying on specialty consults. We are continually refining our pathways in collaboration with specialty colleagues.

The Consultants currently operate a Consultant rota to ensure a senior presence in the department up to midnight on seven days a week. The duty consultants have the remit of supervising and assisting in the initial management of all patients presenting to the department including those managed by trainees and nurse practitioners and will support middle grade staff in their role. The duty consultants take a lead role in the resuscitation of critically ill or injured patients.

In addition to the new patients presenting to the department there are two soft tissue injury review clinics per week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. There are also twice daily ward rounds to manage the in-patient head injuries who are cared for by emergency medicine.

The conditions of service are those laid down and amended from time to time by the Hospital and Medical & Dental Whitley Council.

THE REQUIREMENTS: Please view the detailed person specification on page 12

FRCEM or equivalent, you must have full registration with the GMC and inclusion on the specialist register or within 6 months of CCT at time of interview. You must demonstrate competence in the management of full range of Emergency Medicine presentations and evidence of working in a multi-disciplinary team.

3 EMERGENCY MEDICINE DEPARTMENT CONSULTANT IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE CLINICAL COMMITMENTS

The main thrust of the Consultant’s clinical activity is treating patients (from resuscitation room cases to minor injuries) on the “shop floor” as they present. In addition, consultants are expected to supervise and support junior medical and nursing staff learning. There is a strong emphasis on education – increasingly multi-disciplinary - and Consultants also participate in research and audit.

Consultant cover is provided from 0800 to midnight seven days a week. Three consultants normally supervise Majors and Resus during the day with two in the evening. A further consultant oversees minors and another is responsible in rotation for ward care.

An integrated minor injury service is incorporated within the department and there is also a nurse led Minor Injury Unit within a brand new purpose built Ambulatory Care Hospital (ACH) at Stobhill Hospital. Emergency Nurse Practitioners assess and treat patients with minor limb injuries, wounds, requiring dressings/sutures, minor burns, foreign bodies or minor injury to ears and nose. Day to day clinical support and advice to the MIU from the GRI Senior ED staff is provided.

The Consultants at Glasgow Royal Infirmary have responsibility for the in-patient management of head injuries not requiring neurosurgical intervention. There is a weekly ward based Head Injury follow-up clinic which the successful applicant will share responsibility for with the other consultants.

ADMINISTRATION

The Consultant will undertake the administrative duties associated with the care of his/her patients and the running of his/her clinical department. In addition, the general administration workload of the Directorate is divided between all consultants under the direction of the Clinical Director. This includes such participation in committees and working groups convened by the North sector, Health Board and other bodies as required - within the provision of the time available within the job plan.

JOB PLAN

This job plan is negotiable and will be agreed between the successful applicant and the Clinical Director. NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde initially allocates all full time consultants 10 PAs made up of 9 PAs in Direct Clinical Care (DCC) and one core Supporting Professional Activities (SPA) for CPD, audit, clinical governance, appraisal, revalidation, job planning, internal routine communication and management meetings. The precise allocation of SPA time and associate objectives will be agreed with the successful applicant and will be reviewed at annual job planning.

4 EMERGENCY MEDICINE DEPARTMENT CONSULTANT IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE ACUTE SERVICES IN NHS GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest National Health Service providers and employers in the UK. In partnership with local authorities we are responsible for the health needs of a population of 1.2 million people, almost a quarter of the entire Scottish population; Glasgow itself has a population of nearly 600,000. The geographical area covered by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is diverse; it covers both urban and rural locations in the Glasgow and Clyde area.

With an annual budget of one billion pounds this is a particularly exciting time to be joining Greater Glasgow’s Health Service. Over the next decade there is planned investment of more than £750 million, the largest single investment programme in the history of Scotland’s NHS – giving the North and South Glasgow Hospitals accommodation for 21st Century health care.

Our Hospital Modernisation programme is a £750 million strategy that has allowed the transformation of acute services across the city including the replacement of out- dated Victorian buildings and the creation of one- stop/rapid diagnosis and treatment models for the vast majority of patients. This has greatly improved the experiences of patients, and staff working environments. Significant investment in acute hospital services means radical changes to Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s healthcare. The opening of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in May 2015 has been the final stage in the development of this programme with Glasgow Royal Infirmary and South QEUH as centres of excellence for surgical, medical and emergency care in the city.

THE ACUTE DIVISION

The Acute Division is the largest group of adult acute hospitals in Scotland – offering many opportunities to ensure job satisfaction and career development. We enjoy close links with Glasgow’s three universities and make a significant contribution to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Research also enjoys a high profile within the organisation.

Core adult acute care is currently delivered from a number of sites within Glasgow. In the north-east of the city acute care is delivered from Glasgow Royal Infirmary with the Ambulatory Care Hospital (including Minor Injuries Unit) at Stobhill. Since May 2015, the closure of inpatient services at both the Western and Victoria Infirmary have seen major inpatient acute services for Glasgow configured across both the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The Royal Alexandra Hospital, Vale of Leven Hospital and Inverclyde Royal Hospital will continue to provide acute services for Clyde.

5 GLASGOW ROYAL INFIRMARY

Glasgow Royal Infirmary, in the east of the city, provides a wide range of district general hospital, regional, supra-regional and national acute clinical services.

Since 2001 the Princess Royal Maternity and the Jubilee Building have been opened, providing accommodation for a new Emergency department, a coronary care unit, an acute medical receiving unit and an orthopaedic surgery inpatient unit. The Canniesburn Plastic Surgery & Burns Unit has been located in the new building. It has six dedicated operating theatres and specialist inpatient and outpatient services.

THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

Glasgow Royal Infirmary Emergency Department is currently one of the busiest departments in Scotland. In March 2011 the redesigned Emergency Department/Emergency Complex absorbed the closure of Stobhill Hospital. The expanded Emergency Department at Glasgow Royal Infirmary now incorporates an Acute Medical and Surgical Assessment Unit for GP referrals, Ambulatory Emergency Care facilities, and an expanded Minor Injuries area. We manage a diverse and varied caseload from major trauma associated with a large city, acute medical and surgical presentations, through to minor injuries. We have been the principal receiving hospital in 3 recent major incidents and have well rehearsed procedures for dealing with multiple casualties.

The Emergency Department deals with between around 280 patients per day in a state of the art facility which is co-located with emergency medical receiving. It has a well equipped 6 bay resuscitation area and a full range of IT and technical support for delivering cutting edge clinical care including a new CT Scanner and ultrasound equipment.

The Emergency Department medical staff, under the supervision of the Emergency Medicine Consultants, are responsible for the immediate assessment and management of all self-referred patients and all patients requiring resuscitation, whether GP or self referred. A Minor Injury Services is provided between Medical staff and ENPs. Consultant-led soft tissue clinics are provided twice weekly. Head injured patients are managed in an Emergency Department led ward, with twice daily ward rounds.

The department has well established direct admission pathways into Acute Medicine, General Surgery, Orthopaedics and Gynaecology. There are very strong working links with critical care services.

EQUIPMENT AND SUPPORTING SERVICES

In addition to 3 Emergency Department x-ray rooms, our medical staff have immediate access to CT scanning (there is a dedicated CT scanner within the department and 24/7 radiology reporting) and office hours access to MRI.

There is a modern portable ultrasound machine with echo capability and many of our senior staff are trained in its use. In addition to near patient blood gas analysis, full

6 emergency laboratory facilities are rapidly accessible via a vacuum pod system for samples with a 30-45 minute turnaround for most results.

Medical staff work closely with our nursing colleagues. At all times there is a senior nurse who is floor coordinator with another responsible for departmental flow. There are 1-2 triage nurses, 8-10 floor nurses and 1-2 expanded role nurse practitioners managing minor injury cases at any given time. Our Health Care Support workers are trained in cannulation and venepuncture and obtaining ECGs.
