Consultant Acute Medicine

Consultant in Acute Medicine This is an exciting opportunity to join a progressive Acute Medicine Unit at Aintree University Hospital, part of Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The post supports the Trust's strong commitment to Acute Medicine and to delivering timely, consultant-led care during peak demand periods, ensuring rapid assessment, treatment and safe decision-making for acutely unwell medical patients. The service includes a well-established Ambulatory Emergency Care (AEC) Unit, supporting same-day assessment, treatment and admission avoidance, alongside a rapid assessment, flow-focused Acute Medical Unit model delivered through regular board rounds and close multidisciplinary working. In February 2023, Acute Medicine relocated to a bespoke front-door facility co-located with the Emergency Department, strengthening integration and enabling earlier senior clinical decision-making. The service currently provides consultant presence 12 hours per day, 7 days per week, delivered by Acute Medicine and Medical Division colleagues. With further substantive consultant appointments, this model will increasingly be delivered by the Acute Medicine Directorate, supported by inpatient specialty in-reach. This post offers the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of a high-performing front-door Acute Medicine service, with a strong focus on quality, patient flow, innovation and multidisciplinary working.
