About the role

Applications are invited to apply for a Fixed Term Contract Locum Consultant post in Acute Medicine at Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. We are seeking to appoint a dynamic Acute Physician or Specialty Physician with an interest in Acute Medicine to join our team of Acute Physicians. Candidates dual-trained in General Internal Medicine and Specialty Medicine would be welcome to apply and specialty sessions would be considered and accommodated where possible. MKUH are due to open a new state-of-the-art Same Day Emergency Care Unit (SDEC) Unit in October 2022, and this post will be crucial to support the new unit and deliver 7 days a week Same Day Emergency Care. "This role does not meet the Trust's hard-to-recruit criteria. Therefore, please be advised that relocation expenses will not be provided"

The job plan on appointment will consist of a split of 8.75:1.25 DCC/SPA. The SPA component is made up of core activities (appraisal, revalidation, CME, routine departmental meetings etc.) and non-core activities. Non-core activities are discussed and agreed within the Trust (via an agreed tariff and, on occasion, through a personal agreement). Non-core SPA may reflect activities such as educational supervision, research, leadership and quality improvement. Following an appointment, non-core SPA may be used to participate in our consultant development programme, or in acquiring or consolidating specific skills and expertise. Non-core SPA is only available if specific activities and objectives are mutually agreed in job planning.
