About the role

We are looking to appoint a fixed-term, locally employed Medical Registrar, Based within Acute Medicine, to North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust on a full-time basis. This post will primarily be focused on our Medical Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) services, with the post holder being responsible for senior decision making within SDEC. This represents a fantastic opportunity to join an energetic, motivated and innovative team, who have demonstrated success in providing new models of care in Acute Medicine to patients in North Cumbria with more exciting development planned.

The Trust Doctor (Reg) will be responsible for the day-to-day care of all patients under the Consultants in Acute Medicine, focussing primarily on our Medical SDEC take. The programme of training for each individual doctor will be flexible depending on his/her particular needs and stage of training. The post will be based at the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle but the post holder may be required to work at other sites within the Trust. On-call commitment: 1:12. Example job plan rota attached in the JD. New leadership and investment at North Cumbria Integrated Care has created exciting new opportunities in Acute Medicine services. Our Medical Registrar team will be integral to the delivery of our Acute Medicine expansion as senior decision makers within our services. New funding will mean we can facilitate early senior decision making, expand Medical SDEC facilities and advise from the point of referral in our new single point of access hub. The investment will support a modern Acute Medical service, including a significantly expanded and purpose-built Medical Same Day Emergency Care unit, with protected consultant presence and strengthened multidisciplinary working. Our future model prioritises early senior review, ambulatory pathways, frailty-focused care and better use of virtual wards and community services. This is about delivering safer care, reducing unnecessary admissions, and improving flow across the whole hospital.
