Senior Clinical Fellow in Acute Medicine

We are assisting a prestigious NHS Trust in the UK to recruit a Senior Clinical Fellow in Acute Medicine for a 12-month fixed-term or substantive position within their successful Medicine department.

Their ambulatory areas, located within two emergency villages, are designed to identify, investigate, and manage emergency admissions arriving in AE or from primary care. These patients are managed and discharged within 8 hours, primarily focusing on those who do not require inpatient admission, thus facilitating admission avoidance and alleviating pressure on the emergency department.

The medical assessment units are arranged in a zonal setup, allowing future developments such as frailty or high-intensity care areas. The aim is to enable prompt clinical decision-making, ensuring patients are directed to the appropriate destination—home, ward bed, or other discharge points—within 72 hours of the estimated discharge date.
