Overview
We have an exciting opportunity for a Locum Consultant to join The Directorate of Diabetes and Endocrine Medicine at James Cook University Hospital for 3 months, with the potential that this could be extended. This will include on call cover 1:6.
This is a 10 PA post based at The James Cook University Hospital including clinics in general diabetes and endocrinology, including pump and antenatal and potentially including foot care and obesity clinics.
There is a 1 in 5.5 Physician of the Week commitment to back of house inpatient care for people with diabetes, endocrine and general medical problems. This entails reviewing patients on the diabetes and endocrine wards each day for 7 days (Monday-Sunday).
There is also a 1:6.5 diabetes and endocrinology on call rota. This is to provide expert advice to other consultants, senior doctors and resident doctors. This usually takes the form of telephone advice and there is not an expectation of hospital attendance during out of hours. Maintain the highest clinical standards in the practice of Diabetes and Endocrinology, including infection prevention and control.

Working for our organisation
Since October 2019, we have been empowering our clinicians to make the decisions around how we allocate our resources and deliver care - supported by the wealth of experience and professional knowledge that exists within our operational, estates, human resources and other administrative and support teams.
We have done this through our Clinical Policy Group (CPG) which draws its membership from our clinical directors, nursing and allied health professional leaders, chief medical officer, executive team, operational managers, chairs of staff-side, our senior medical staff forum, and our BMA representative.
Our CPG has created ten clinically-led improvement collaboratives (service groups) - natural care communities of surgeons, physicians, nurses, midwives, scientists, allied health professionals and administrative and support colleagues, which have come together to make their services even better for our patients.
At the heart of our clinical collaboratives is our Leadership Improvement and Safety Academy which encompasses our patient safety faculty and provides a range of support, including leadership and management training, quality improvement skills, team and service support, coaching and human factors training.
