General Practitioner (bank) | Provide CIC

Workforce Solutions are looking for a Registrar or General Practitioner with Specialist Interest in Rehabilitation / General Medicine to join the team at Halstead Community Hospital on a flexible, bank basis.

We require a Registrar or General Practitioner for Halstead Ward, to provide medical care and expertise to patients on a 20-bedded rehabilitation ward. The main duties include:

• Reviewing patients daily, ensuring rehabilitation and treatment plans are optimised

• Prescribe all medications required, reviewing any deteriorating patients

Halstead Community Ward is a 20 bedded Intermediate Care (IMC) unit, specializing in rehabilitation, at Halstead Community Hospital.

It is a nurse led unit, where patients are admitted onto a two-week rehabilitation pathway. D2A (Discharge to Assess) and Step Up patients from community settings are also accepted to the unit.

Patients admitted to Halstead Ward are supported to reach their optimal level of independence. Our therapists work with patients to set their own goals enabling them to return home, or into an interim placement depending on their individual needs. Discharge planning is carried out early in the pathway - where patients and their families are supported to discuss with the therapy team the progress made and what support will be required to facilitate a safe discharge from Halstead.

Cover is required Monday to Friday, within the hours 09:00 - 17.00.

Further duties and responsibilities are detailed in the attached job description.
