Summary
We seek a colleague to play a key role in the delivery of a visionary single palliative medicine service. The service serves a catchment population of approx. 430,000 which reflects the current St Margaret's Hospice footprint. There is an expectation of partnership working with other hospices, including Dorothy House and Weston Hospice care in serving those respective populations. Patients are empowered earlier in their journey and are cared for in the place of their choice, where possible. This is a great opportunity for a specialty doctor to join Somerset Foundation Trust and play an integral role in the delivery of services. The post holder will be involved in service development via direct and supervised audit activity. Alongside this they will participate in development using quality improvement methodology. There is an expectation that the post holder will specifically contribute to the educational program for medical students from Bristol and Peninsula Medical Schools, post graduate doctors in training and nursing and allied health professionals.
