The post is based at Royal Derby Hospital, the appointees will undertake duties within the renal unit covering both Derby and outreach support to Burton. The post will involve 12 months of specialist medicine with an out of hours commitment to the renal rota which covers acute high dependency unit (HDU) admissions to renal as well as general medical HDU. This will be a 1:8 weekday evening cover and 1:8 weekend cover (no night shifts). Full resident. Renal Consultant available at all hours for support. Senior Clinical Fellows (IM3 equivalent) work Monday to Friday, rostered between 08.45-17.15. As part of a ward multi-disciplinary team, the SCF will review patients daily and support consultant ward rounds to enable efficient senior decision-making and effective management of patients on their respective wards. In addition, there are daily board rounds with the opportunity to discuss the management of the ward patients with the consultant of the week. During your inpatient work you will be based within the Department of renal medicine and work with our team of consultants, advanced care practitioners (ACPs), therapists and Discharge Support Officers (DSOs) to deliver a responsive service to medical patients throughout the hospital. Your speciality team will give you consistent support and further learning opportunities. You will be expected to work as middle-grade doctors, seeing renal speciality referrals, medical High dependency referrals and leading your junior team with full consultant support. There is a consultant working on the renal inpatient ward and a separate consultant covering referrals with limited other commitments during their ward / referral weeks so you will be guaranteed full support when seeing complex referrals including plenty of opportunities for development and training. You will also work on the dialysis unit and in the renal assessment unit (RAU) allowing you to gain supported experience and training in management of more specialised renal problems including acute glomerulonephritis and commonly encountered dialysis related complications and emergencies in our interesting multi-morbid population.
