SUMMARY INFORMATION
POST: CONSULTANT IN ACUTE MEDICINE WITH AN INTEREST IN ANOTHER
MEDICAL SPECIALTY
BASE: SOUTHERN GENERAL HOSPITAL/VICTORIA INFIRMARY/WESTERN
INFIRMARY (MOVING TO NEW SOUTH GLASGOW HOSPITAL)
This is a unique opportunity to join the team at the new South Glasgow
hospital.The new south Glasgow hospital will be the largest teaching hospital
in the West of Scotland and comprises of a merger between the existing
Southern General, Victoria Infirmary and the Western Infirmary/Gartnavel
General hospitals. The new south Glasgow hospital will have a purpose built
128 bedded medical admission unit (MAU), excellent facilities for ambulatory
care and a 10 bedded medical high dependency unit co located beside
intensive care medicine and the hyper acute stroke unit. The new hospital will
be operational in mid 2015. Until this time the successful candidates will be
fully supported in helping to further develop acute medicine services within the
current sites. The successful three candidates will be expected to work
together and with existing consultant physicians to develop a first rate acute
medicine service for the population of south and west Glasgow. The new
south Glasgow hospital will be the largest university teaching hospital in
Glasgow and Glasgow University has a world renowned reputation for
teaching and undertaking clinical research. Successful candidates will be fully
supported if they wish to undertake teaching and research
Our vision is to develop a fully integrated seven day service where patients
are either admitted to the appropriate specialty, treated using ambulatory care
pathways or assessed and discharged.
We are looking to further develop our models of acute assessment and acute
ambulatory care and have created 2 new Consultant posts to enhance our
existing team of over 80 WTE Consultant Physicians
Candidates should have an interest in acute assessment and CCT in General
or acute medicine or be within six months of obtaining CCT in Acute Medicine
or General Internal Medicine at the time of interview.
Initially the posts will be predominantly acute / general medicine with a
specialty interest ( as defined by the Acute Internal Medicine curriculum or
dual CCT ). However, it is proposed that the balance of this could change
over time allowing the balance to change to a more specialty role in
subsequent years
We are aiming to commence these posts as soon as possible; however,
starting dates can be negotiated with the successful candidates.

General Information
Greater Glasgow & Clyde Health Board and NHS Scotland are currently investing
£842 million in redeveloping the current Southern General Hospital campus. The first
stage of this investment led to the opening of a large laboratory medicine facility on
site in 2012. A new adult and children’s hospital is on schedule to open on this site
around Spring 2015. The adult hospital comprises 1109 beds. The bed complement
will include a large Emergency Department (ED) and a 118 bedded Acute Receiving
Unit (ARU). Both the ED and ARU are co-located. These departments are also
closely located with a large Imaging Department, a 79 bedded Critical Care Unit
(including ICU, Medical & Surgical HDU and Coronary Care). The Acute Stroke Unit
is also adjacent.
The ARU includes a 28 bed Immediate Assessment Unit. This will be the primary
area for the initial assessment of GP referred medical and surgical patients. It is
envisaged that the Acute Care Physicians in the new South Glasgow Hospital will
have a lead role in this area. The Critical Care area includes a Medical High
Dependency area. The detailed planning of this area is still in development however
it is envisaged that the team of Acute Care Physicians will also have a lead role in
the running of this department. The remaining 90 beds within ARU will be split into a
number of medical and surgical specialty "zones". It is expected that patients within
these beds will be looked after by the General Physician & Surgical teams
Acute Services Division, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
The Acute Division of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is the largest group of adult
acute hospitals in Scotland – offering many opportunities to ensure job satisfaction
and career development.
We provide a wide range of services from community-based care through to the full
range of general hospital services.
There is a significant amount of complex surgical work carried out, as we are home
to a number of the country’s tertiary and national services including renal
transplantation and cardiothoracic surgery.
We enjoy close links with Glasgow’s three universities and make a significant
contribution to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Research
also has a high profile within the organisation. We provide excellent facilities for
students and their tutors in the Wolfson Medical School, based at Glasgow
University.
Employing more than 14,300 staff, we serve a core catchment population of 560,000.
Our patients not only come from Greater Glasgow and Clyde but also, in some
instances, from the whole of the West of Scotland and for our national services, from
the whole of Scotland.
We have eight hospitals north of the River Clyde, all with teaching responsibilities:
Glasgow Royal Infirmary (including Princess Royal Maternity Hospital), Western
Infirmary, Stobhill Hospital, Gartnavel General Hospital, Glasgow Dental Hospital and
School, Drumchapel Hospital, Blawarthill Hospital and Lightburn Hospital. South of
the river can be found the Southern General and Victoria Infirmary. In Paisley can be
found the Royal Alexandra Hospital, while Greenock is home to Inverclyde Royal
Hospital and the Vale of Leven District General Hospital is situated in Alexandria.
With an annual budget of over one billion pounds this is a particularly exciting time to
be joining NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Over the next decade there is planned
investment of more than £800 million, this is the largest single investment
programme in the history of NHS Scotland – giving NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
hospital accommodation for 21st Century health care.
2.
The Current Medical Units
The current Medical Units are based at the Southern General Hospital (166 beds),
the Victoria Infirmary (214 beds) and The Western Infirmary (138 beds). The current
medical units provide an acute services in general medicine with clinics in general
medicine, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology, cardiology, rheumatology
and respiratory medicine.
3.
The Role of the Acute Care Physicians
These three acute care physician posts are planned to be the first of a cohort of
posts that will contribute to the smooth running of the acute receiving in the New
Southern General Hospital. The operational planning for how the acute receiving unit
is ongoing and it is anticipated that the successful candidates will be actively involved
in this process. At present the plans are that the acute care physicians will have a
number of roles in the new hospital and that the number of posts will expand to 7 to
allow fulfil these roles.
The main roles of the acute care physicians will be as follows:
a) They will run the immediate assessment area. GP referrals will be seen
rapidly here and they will either be discharged or moved through to the acute
assessment area where their care will be passed onto the appropriate
specialty team. The acute care physicians will have a role in running the unit
including supervising the junior medical staff and also in forming appropriate
relationships and pathways both with A&E and the down stream specialty
teams.
b) The acute care physicians will set up and run clinics and ambulatory care
pathways for patients that present to receiving but do not need to be
admitted. Examples currently running include the out-patient management of
DVT and low risk (Blatchford 0) patients with GI bleeding but it is anticipated
that other patient groups will be indentified and protocols developed to
expand the number of patients suitable for such management. There are 3
out-patient rooms within the acute receiving complex where such care can be
delivered.
c) The new hospital contains a 10 bedded medical HDU, which is a new and
exciting development for South Glasgow. The current plans are for this to run
as a closed model and that the acute care physicians will have a central role
in running this unit. A further role of the acute care physicians will be to
develop shared care protocols with the appropriate specialty teams to jointly
manage those patients requiring HDU level care.
The new Southern General Hospital will open in the summer of 2015 and during the
intervening time the posts will be attached to the three hospitals that will ultimately
move to into the new hospital – namely the current Southern General Hospital, the
Victoria Infirmary and the Western Infirmary. The posts will contribute to the receiving
activities at these sites alongside the existing consultant cohort but will also work as
a team to start to develop the above services so that they are up and running when
the new hospital opens. It is proposed that two consultants will be employed across
the Victoria and Southern General sites and one will be attached to the Western
Infirmary.
The two attached to the South Glasgow hospitals will start to develop the immediate
assessment unit model. It is anticipated that ward B will be used as this area and that
both GP referrals and A&E referrals that may be suitable for rapid assessment will be
seen here. Patients that it is clear will require more prolonged admission will be
admitted to the current acute receiving wards (12A and 14). Acute medicine clinics
where patients that are seen through the acute receiving complexes on both the
Southern General and Victoria sites and can be managed with early out-patient
follow up run by the acute physicians will also be set up. It is anticipated that these
clinics will be run at the SGH.
The post attached to the Western will ideally have input into developing medical HDU
at that site. Currently ITU deliver level 2 care but it is hoped that the post will build
links and close working relationships with ITU with a view to developing medical HDU
working practices which can be taken to the new south hospital. The Western post
will also help with providing assessment unit cover (with existing colleagues who
have sessional commitments) and undertake early medical return clinics again
supported by existing colleagues. The post will be fully encouraged to undertake their
specialist skill and a range of interests can be catered for.
All the acute care consultants will contribute to the on-call rotas across the sites.
It is anticipated that the three consultants will work as a team particularly with regard
to the planning processes for the new SGH and to develop the patient pathways
described above.
4.
Acute Receiving – Current arrangements
Southern General Hospital
There are 23 acute receiving medical beds in ward 20 where patients are
admitted from the Emergency Department. Currently all GP referrals are
admitted from the Emergency Department where a single pile system is in
place to manage the GP and emergency presentations.
Victoria Infirmary
There are 45 acute receiving medical beds over 3 ward areas. Ward 12A a 17
bedded male ward, ward 14 an 18 bedded female ward and ward B a 10
bedded mixed ward which aims to assist initial assessment and rapid turnover
of medical receiving patients. All medical patients, GP and emergency
referrals are admitted from the Emergency Department into the receiving
wards.
Western Infirmary
The Western Infirmary operates a very recently refurbished 28 bedded
medical admission unit (MAU) taking GP referrals directly. More acutely
unwell patients are triaged by the Scottish Ambulance Service to the
Emergency Department resuscitation room. Within the unit there is a nurse
practitioner led 6 bay Clinical Decisions Unit, a purpose designed procedure
room (including ultrasound and ventilator) and ward space for short stay
patients. Patients are either discharged from the MAU or else admitted to
downstream specialty wards. The unit operates on a consultant of the day
model with additional 7 day MAU consultant cover to midday. There are
currently 2 consultant physicians with additional afternoon sessional
commitments to MAU. The unit has a dedicated cohort of junior doctors of all
training grades which includes 3 senior Acute Medicine ST doctors. The unit
is supported by 3 Clinical Nurse Practitioners and 2 chest pain nurses. There
are well established ambulatory care pathways as well as recently introduced
initiatves including out patient VTE protocols.

NHS GREATER GLASGOW & CLYDE
Statement of Policy regarding fitness to practice proceedings by a
licensing/regulatory body and relating to criminal investigations in the UK or
overseas.
Registration with General Medical Council or General Dental Council imposes on
doctors and dentists the duty to provide a good standard of medicine care for, and to
behave appropriately, towards patients. NHS employers also have a duty to ensure
that patients receive a good standard of medical care and ensure as far as possible
the safety of patients. We therefore need to establish if you have been found guilty
of a criminal offence, been bound over or cautioned or are currently the subject of
proceedings which might lead to a conviction, an order binding you over on a caution,
in the UK or any other country.
Applicants for posts in the NHS are exempt for the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act
1974. Application forms will include a declaration for applicants to complete
declaring any previous or pending prosecutions or convictions, including those
considered “spent” under this Act. Forms will also include a declaration of any
cautions or bind overs.
We also need to establish if you have been subject to any fitness to practise
proceedings in the past, or if any fitness to practise proceedings are being
contemplated, by a licensing or regulatory body in the UK or another country and this
is also reflected in the declaration.
This information will be treated in confidence and will not debar you from
appointment unless the selection panel considers that it renders you unsuitable for
appointment. In reaching such a decision we will consider the nature of the
conviction/action, how long ago it took place and any other factors which may be
relevant.
Failure to disclose a criminal offence, having been bound over or cautioned or that
you are currently the subject of criminal proceedings that might lead to a conviction,
an order binding you over or a caution, or fitness to practise proceedings undertaken
by an appropriate licensing or regulatory body may disqualify you from appointment,
or result in summary dismissal/disciplinary action and referral to the General Medical
Council for consideration if such a discrepancy came to light.
If you would like to discuss what effect any previous convictions, police investigations
or fitness to practice proceedings taken or being taken either in the UK or by an
overseas licensing or regulatory body might have on your application, please contact
the Recruitment Team.
