The list is
not endless and if there is something you are passionate about and wonder how
to incorporate it into a career in Emergency Medicine, please come and talk to
us about how we can help create the ideal job for you.
These posts
are not recognised UK training posts. Nevertheless, MYDoc doctors will have a
named supervisor and be supported in undertaking scheduled educational
opportunities to consolidate and develop.
An Introduction to the Specialty
The
Emergency Medicine Service is delivered on two sites within the Trust with the
Pinderfields hospital site designated as a Major Trauma Unit, Dewsbury is a
local ED and Pontefract was one of the first Urgent Treatment Centres in
England. Our multi-disciplinary team of dedicated and committed professionals
provide high quality care and treatment in what is, when combined across the
three hospitals, consistently ranked as one of the top five busiest Urgent and Emergency
Medicine services in England handling around 250,000 attendances each year.
The
majority of our Consultant team have developed special interests and have been
given the time to chase their own passions and interests. This allows them to really support our
clinical fellows in developing their own special interests as theyve already
been there.
Outlined
below are some of the things we are proud of as a service:
We are an Associate
Teaching Hospital and have won national awards for the quality of our
undergraduate Emergency Medicine teaching programme.
Were
closely involved in the West Yorkshire Acceleration Zone looking at trialling
different projects to improve our Emergency Care Standard performance.
Were part
of the MERIT programme and take part in regular exercises to practise dealing
with major incidents. The last one involved setting up an Advanced Casualty
Clearing Station (ACCS) close to a major shopping centre as part of an exercise
looking at emergency response for a terrorist incident. Ours is the only region
in the country which has a MERIT response like this, meaning we are one of only
five acute trusts in the country which undertakes these types of response and
sends a team to an ACCS. We do incident training every three years in terms of
live exercising and all the ED staff get the opportunity to do a table-top
exercise each year.
The Trust
has spent the last three years reconfiguring services across its hospitals
Pinderfields, Dewsbury and Pontefract one of the largest reconfiguration
projects in the country.
Weve been
involved in the first few of an ongoing series of Rapid Process Improvement
Workshops (RPIW). These have been instigated as part of a new Quality
Improvement Process for the Trust and they are based on the world-renowned
Virginia Mason lean production methodologies.
We have a great
track record in developing our doctors and providing robust educational opportunities
for all staff within the service.
The Service Role
These posts will be part of our cross-site
trainee rota (CT3 or STR depending up on relevant experience), which is
compliant with working time regulations and the 2016 junior doctors contract, averaging
48 hours per week.
Acute care at Mid-Yorkshire is now
focussed primarily on our Pinderfields Hospital site although all our doctors
are involved in delivering care to patients on all our sites, with support and
supervision from senior colleagues.
The main duties of the post will
include:
Provision of care with responsibility for the management of patients presenting
to the ED.
Referral of patients to other specialities as appropriate
Dedicated special interest day per week
Involvement in specialty and cross-specialty multi-disciplinary teams
and meetings
Involvement in relevant administration duties
Teaching and supervision of junior medical staff and other clinicians as
appropriate
Active involvement in audit and clinical governance including service
improvement activities
The above
list is not intended to be exhaustive and it is likely duties may be altered
from time to time in the light of changing circumstances and after discussion
with the post holder.
Terms
& Conditions and Tenure
Employment
will be as a MYDoc Registrar on Trust Terms and Conditions of Service.
The MYDoc Trust Registrar posts are
initially offered on a fixed term contract for 12 months after this extension
on a mutually agreed basis is possible.
Pay Scale
These roles are equivalent to a doctor on specialty training programmes
and will be paid on the equivalent pay scale. The salary scale commences at £55,329 per annum.
The MYDoc
Training Programme Educational Input & Recognition
Doctors appointed to a MYDoc post will receive
relevant educational input. Each doctor will be
allocated an Educational Supervisor and will be required to develop a
Personalised Work Schedule.
The weekly
timetable should include a balance of these activities appropriate to your
grade, role and training requirements.
You are required to maintain a dialogue with your Clinical and
Educational Supervisor to ensure the balance of these activities meets your
developmental needs.
Whilst not a recognised training post Doctors successfully completing their training programme will
be awarded a Certificate of Achievement from the Trust. Doctors will use established work-place
based assessment (WPBA) tools to chart progress and keep relevant evidence
in an electronic portfolio system. There will be an annual review of progress based on evidence within the
portfolios including the WPBA, 360 assessment, personal reflections and CPD,
covering both clinical, personal and professional development, and a
Certificate of Achievement (appropriate to that year/level of training) will be
