GP with Special Interest in Acute Medicine
NHS Medical & Dental: Salaried GP
Job overview
We are seeking an experienced and motivated General Practitioner with a Special Interest (GPwSI) in Acute Medicine to join our expanding team at North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC).
This is a unique opportunity to set up and establish a Single Point of Access for medical admissions within North Cumbria.
Multi Agency Telephone Coordination Hub (MATCH) is a new dedicated service for Acute Medical referrals, which operates from 10:00 to 17:30, Monday to Friday. All referrals for Medical admissions and Medical SDEC for both West Cumberland Hospital (WCH) and Cumberland Infirmary Carlisle (CIC) should be directed through MATCH during these hours.
Most patients requiring assessment and admission to hospital can be safely and appropriately managed via ward-based admission areas and Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) services.
Main duties of the job
As a senior Clinical Decision Maker in the MATCH service, you will work alongside the triage nurse, the admin officer, the paramedic and the therapist from the Community team to determine the most appropriate disposition for the patients referred to the service.
Working for our organisation
At NCIC, we have an ambition to deliver outstanding healthcare services to the population of North Cumbria. The Trust is committed to creating a centre of excellence in providing rural and remote healthcare and provides a wide range of community and acute services throughout our county.
Our 5 key principles demonstrate our belief in the delivery of ‘safe, high quality care every time':
- Being a clinically led organisation
- Quality and safety at the heart of our Trust
- A positive patient experience every time
- A great place to work
- Managing our money well
As an organisation we are serious about supporting a diverse workforce that reflects our local community and are very much focused on being an inclusive and compassionate place to work.
Across the North East and North Cumbria we are working together to deliver our ambition to be the greenest region in England by 2030. All staff are expected to support sustainability.
