Job description

The Acute Medicine service at Charing Cross hospital provides a consultant led service for all patients admitted under Acute Medicine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The ward areas covered by Acute Medicine are an Acute Medicine Unit (AMU) and an Acute Assessment Unit (AAU).

The Acute Medicine service at Charing Cross Hospital works closely with the Emergency Department and with Specialty Medicine services. The AMU/AAU have a fast turnover of patients; our usual length of stay is around 1.5 days. This is due to a consultant lead service with twice daily consultant input into patient care, great support from imaging and diagnostics, multidisciplinary approach to patient care (delivered by the OPAL team) and an excellent pharmacy team across Acute Medicine. In addition, there is daily input from a consultant led cardiology team and in reach from other specialties (gastroenterology, neurology, infectious diseases, endocrinology, psychiatry, etc) for patients who require specialist input.

Admission rates to Medicine from the Emergency Department can vary quite significantly with the seasons. The post holder is expected to help deliver consultant led care to all patients managed by the Acute Medicine team regardless of their location. The care of medical patients outlying on non-medical wards is shared between Acute and Specialist Medicine. The post holder is also expected to support the management of patients under the Acute Medicine Virtual Ward, and regularly attend board rounds with the virtual hub to facilitate management.
