CARDIFF AND VALE UNIVERSITY HEALTH BOARD

POST: SENIOR CLINICAL FELLOW IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE AND COMMUNITY PRE-

HOSPITAL EMERGENCY MEDICINE (Speciality Registrar pay level)

We are delighted to offer for the first time 2 innovative posts at University Hospital Wales, Cardiff. These posts are aimed at strengthening the links between the Prehospital & Emergency Department, and in providing an enjoyable, CV-enhancing post which will attract high calibre candidates. UHW is the first major Trauma Centre (MTC) in Wales and will be providing full trauma services for South Wales. Together with our partner Welsh Ambulance Service (WAS) – The Welsh Enhanced Care Response Unit (WECRU) is an innovative idea pushing the concept of PHEM within the community – recently termed Community Emergency Medicine. International and national health policies advocate greater integration of emergency and community care. The WECRU will aim to responds to 999 calls ‘taking the Emergency Department to the patient’ within Cardiff. The WECRU model provides community emergency medical care and early patient contact with a senior clinical decision-maker. It engages with community providers in order to manage patients in the community. We believe the WECRU offers an effective model of community emergency medicine and helps to integrate local emergency and community providers. This model provides a unique opportunity for streamlining various acute clinical pathways and platform for individual quality improvement projects. The post offers an excellent opportunity to build portfolios and experience in PHEM. Completion of the post is expected to deliver competitiveness for recruitment into PHEM training programmes. The post would also be suitable for those wishing to take time out of programme (OOPE), although this must be discussed in detail with relevant current training programme directors. The post is based at UHW. The Consultant body has current FRCEM examiners and provides educational supervision to regional trainees. There will be a specifically-designed training and teaching package for all successful applicants and there will be a designated Consultant supervisor for the duration of the rotation. The Emergency Department at the UHW has a good reputation for teaching & training of all professional groups including junior doctors, emphasis is placed on extended consultant shop-floor presence & supervision. The department has strong links with Cardiff University and access to excellent post graduate training and support including simulation suites and library facilities. The post holder must be registered with GMC and hold a licence to practice.

THE HEALTH BOARD Cardiff and Vale University Health Board was established in October 2009 and is one of

the largest NHS organisations in the UK. We have a responsibility for the promotion of health and well-being of around 472,400 people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, the provision of local primary care services, running of health centres, community health teams, hospitals – providing treatment and care when health and well-being isn’t the best it could be.

We are increasingly focussing the planning and delivery of our care based on

neighbourhoods and localities to help ensure people receive care as close to home as possible where it is safe and effective to do so. We also provide specialist services for people across South Wales and in some cases the whole of Wales.

The Health Board also serves a wider population of 2.5 million people across South and Mid Wales and manages a number of services of a regional and sub-regional nature namely cardiology, cardiac surgery, PICU, neurology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, medical genetics, bone marrow transplantation, renal transplant and toxicology. On-site services include 24/7 PCI, stroke thrombolysis, maxillo-facial, trauma, general medicine, general surgery, urology and paediatrics.

Phase II of the Children’s Hospital for Wales was completed in 2015 and has seen re-

development and consolidation of all paediatric specialities into a dedicated Children’s hospital with five theatres, PICU, Medical and Surgical Wards OPD, Radiology and an admission and assessment unit.

We are also a teaching Health Board with close links to Cardiff University which boasts a

high profile teaching, research and development role within the UK and abroad; and enjoy strengthened links with the University of South Wales and Cardiff Metropolitan University. Together, we are training the next generation of clinical professionals.

1.1 Values & Behaviours

In 2012, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board undertook a listening exercise entitled ‘Picture the Future’ in which staff were invited to provide feedback about working within the Health Board. As a result of this feedback, a plan of action was devised - named ‘Organising for Excellence’ - which aims to secure the kind of future we want to offer to the people we serve.

‘Picture the Future’ also identified key Values and Behaviours which should underpin the work of its staff in order achieve success for the organisation. These can also be closely aligned with the principles of ‘Good Medical Practice’ standards as published by the General Medical Council.

Our Values

Care about the people we serve and the people we work with.

Act with kindness – because it costs nothing, and makes all the difference in the

world.

Show trust – because our staff have been trained to do their jobs and we work at

our best when we feel we are being trusted.

Take and expect personal responsibility – because everyone has a job to do and

Page 4: CARDIFF AND VALE NHS TRUST - bmj.com

4

we are all responsible for doing our jobs as well as we can.

Be respectful – because this is what we want for ourselves.

Always act with integrity – because we build trust and respect if we keep our promises, do what we say we will do, and work as colleagues together.

Our Behaviours

How these values become part of our everyday behaviour:-

Being enthusiastic and taking responsibility for what we do.

Doing what we say we will do and being honest with ourselves and others

Treating people as we would like to be treated, and always with compassion

Thanking people, celebrating success and, when things go wrong, asking “what can we learn?”

Looking for feedback on how we’re doing and always striving for better ways of doing things

Never letting structures get in the way of doing the right thing

The Health Board needs to be sure that the staff they employ have values and behaviours that are aligned with those of the organisation thereby ensuring that appointees will be able to make an ongoing contribution to the positive culture of the organisation and meet the required standards of behaviour to patients, carers and the public and to one another.

It is therefore likely that interviewees will be asked questions which encourage them to talk about themselves and provide insight into their personal values and behaviours.

Office space is provided in the Directorate offices near the Emergency Unit. An expansion in secretarial support is imminent. 4.0 THE WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT

The Emergency Unit is the only one in Cardiff and serves a nominal catchment population of circa 470,000. Cardiff is the main teaching hospital of Cardiff University’s School of Medicine and by virtue of the various regional and supra-regional specialties, tends to attract patients from a much wider area. Reconfiguration of emergency services is being discussed in the South Wales Plan and separate to this are proposals for the development of a Major Trauma Centre in Wales. We are also developing a business case for a single point of access for all paediatric cases to the hospital. The Emergency Unit completed a major re-build of the adult areas resulting in a 7-bedded Resus area with separate areas for majors, ambulatory care, streaming, and a Clinical Decisions Unit in 2014. Minors is a primarily 24/7 ENP-led minor injuries area within the Emergency Unit and we are developing a 24/7 ANP service. There is a separate paediatric area with 36,000 attendances per annum and it is envisaged this will undergo a major refurbishment into a combined GP / Emergency Assessment Unit. This

is open 24 hours a day and is staffed by trained paediatric nursing staff including paediatric ENP’s. The Paediatric Emergency Department is co-located next door to the main Emergency Unit with a shared reception area. The Paediatric unit comprises a separate waiting area, 5 trolley spaces, an adolescent room, a minor injuries room with 3 further trollies and a dedicated resus bay located within the adult resuscitation area.

The Emergency Unit has been at the forefront of service innovation and working within

the unit there are minor injury co-ordinators, extended scope physiotherapy practitioners with specialist acute knee and acute shoulder expertise and urgent physiotherapy follow-up. There is a general physiotherapist in the unit and support on a regular basis from Age Concern. In addition, staff include Domestic Violence Nurse, Child Protection Nurse and Children’s Play Therapist. There are outreach teams with an acute response team and an emergency care access scheme.

There is close involvement in the Cardiff Anti-Violence Group, working collaboratively to reduce assaults within the catchment area. Recently, setting up the Alcohol Treatment Centre in town has been shown to reduce patients with acute alcohol intoxication attending the Unit – instead receiving their treatment in town.

There is close liaison with Paediatrics, PICU, Trauma & Orthopaedics, Paediatric

specialities and Toxicology.

There is a PACS system in use throughout the hospital. An Emergency Unit work station (patient information and tracking system) is also in place.

We have close affiliations with Cardiff University’s School of Medicine and are committed to providing teaching to undergraduate students. To this end there are also resources available to support teaching using simulation and a wide range of clinical teaching tools.

All consultants and current middle grade doctors support teaching and provide clinical support on the shop floor. There is also good provision for training towards professional examinations and support in career development. The Emergency Unit provides a Consultant lead emergency Services between the hours of 08:00 and 22:00 on weekdays and extended hours of the weekend, outside these hours consultants are on-call from home. There is support from the trauma team, radiology and adult and paediatric intensivists.
