Job Opportunity: Speciality Doctor in Acute Medicine and SDEC
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Acute Medicine Team as a Speciality Doctor in Acute Medicine and SDEC at Rochdale Infirmary. "We are looking for an experienced doctor with full MRCP and specialist experience who can provide senior acute medical care."
This is an exciting time to join the team as you will be part of a hospital and medical department currently undergoing a period of innovation and development.
About the Role
The successful candidate will be joining our innovative team of 4 Consultants within our clinical assessment unit, SDEC, and our dementia specialist ward Oasis. You will work alongside other speciality doctors, foundation doctors and GP trainees, junior clinical fellows, and the wider multi-disciplinary team.
Essential Criteria
- The post is a permanent position, and essential criteria must be met.
- Achievement of competencies equivalent to the end of IMT2 training.
- Colleagues must be able to organize and prioritize their workload and support more junior members of the MDT.
- Commitment to work days, nights, and weekends on a rota basis.
We welcome less than full-time applications and are willing to discuss flexible working arrangements. Candidates must be able to demonstrate a commitment to Acute Medicine.
About Us
If you would like to work in a dynamic, caring, inclusive, and forward-thinking environment where innovation is welcomed, then we would welcome your application.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Clinical Assessment Unit
The post holder will be expected to take part in the assessment and management of acute patients admitted to the CAU. This will include taking part in the daily assessment of patients, initiating management plans for these patients, and performing procedures (under supervision if needed). Rochdale Infirmary does not have level 2 care, therefore you will be expected to make decisions on who can be managed on this site and who may need escalating off-site.
Medical SDEC
As a senior clinical decision maker, you will work with experienced doctors, Advanced Care Practitioners, senior nurses to screen and accept referrals from the Urgent Treatment Centre, General Practitioners, North West Ambulance Service, and community services including the Rapid response Response team and Hospital at Home teams. The caseload encompasses a broad range of ambulatory care-sensitive medical conditions for which you will provide clinical assessments, formulate investigation and management plans, and offer safe onward referral or discharge.
You may also assist in coordinating the care of patients assessed by other practitioners, offering your knowledge and advice in support of the department outside usual office hours.
