Job Description : The unique location, geography and constitution of the Island means that the Department provides a much wider range of services than would be expected in a comparative health authority or Social Services in the United Kingdom. The post holder will be assigned general clinical duties to include attendance at out-patient clinics and theatre sessions. Specialist skills such as Infertility, Early Pregnancy Scanning, or Colposcopy would be advantageous, and these skills would be included in the weekly timetable. The post holder will provide the appropriate level of support to the Consultant Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in the care of the patients. Jersey is fortunate to have maintained a team structure so the post holder would be assigned to work with a named consultant. The post holder will undertake the administrative duties associated with the care of their patients and the efficient running of the department, ensuring that up-to-date, accurate, legible and comprehensive signed notes are recorded in the patients case notes. The post holder will prescribe appropriate medication and therapy, ensure that any procedure for patient management is undertaken at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate location, promoting patient dignity and privacy. The post holder will be required to undertake and pass Health and Care Jersey e-Prescribing course. The post holder will support the Consultant Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in the development, review and updating of protocols and practice regarding the management of obstetric and gynaecological patients. Close links are maintained with the Wessex Deanery and other major centres in the UK and consultants in areas such as oncology, neurology and cardiology visit the Island on a regular basis. The post holder will be expected to participate in the training of our Resident doctors and Medical students for whom he/she is responsible and ensure that training and learning needs are identified and facilitated. The post holder will be expected to take part in management and audit activities and represent the service at Hospital meetings, as agreed with colleagues. The post holder will be expected to be fully involved in a Risk Management programme and support the Governance agenda. The post holder will deputise from time to time for absent colleagues, performing additional duties in occasional emergencies and unforeseen circumstances; being available for such irregular duties is essential for the continuity of patient care. Doctors are expected to be flexible and to cooperate with reasonable requests to cover for their colleagues absences where it is practicable to do so. Where doctors undertake such duties in addition to their contracted hours they will receive appropriate remuneration. The post-holder will be indemnified by the States of Jersey for all public work undertaken as part of his/her Contract of Employment.
