Individuals will get the chance to work on the acute medical take (as per rota) focusing on managing acutely unwell patients within the first 48 hours of admission, as well as then providing continued care if the patient requires a hospital stay of longer than 48 hours when they are transferred to the post-acute wards. This post would be suitable for any doctor who has successfully completed a 2-year Foundation School programme or has achieved equivalent competencies.
