Full job description
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
The shift pattern for this post is has yet to be confirmed.
NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde is proud to be one of the UK’s largest healthcare systems. Right now, we’re embarking on one of Scotland’s most ambitious change programmes. Guided by our aim for Better Health, Better Care, Better Value, and a Better Workplace, we’re reimagining how urgent care is delivered for our communities.
At the heart of this transformation is our newly established Interface Division. This exciting division has been created to drive bold innovation, strengthen integration between primary and secondary care, and put patients firmly at the centre of everything we do.
Over the next three years, the division will lead a series of ground-breaking developments.
These include our pioneering FNC+Plus care model, the launch of one of the UK’s largest Virtual Hospital with 1,000 virtual beds and clinics, the introduction of Electronic Triage at our hospital front doors, and the creation of Rapid Assessment & Care (RAaC) units to ensure patients receive timely and seamless support.
This is about more than improving services it’s about transforming the way care is experienced. By shifting the balance of care closer to home, enhancing patient pathways, and reducing delays, we will ensure people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
The postholder will work 0.5 WTE within the FNC+plus as part of the Interface Division, supporting Virtual Pathways including Call Before You Convey, NHS24 and developing alternatives to admissions and attendance at the Emergency Departments. They will work as the Senior Clinical Decision Maker as part of a multi-disciplinary team that includes medical, nursing, SAS, pharmacy and administrative staff to manage the complete clinical care for their patients within the Interface Division
They will support the FNC+plus, Virtual Hospital and Whole System Escalation functions through the Interface Division and will act as the responsible consultant for patients under the care of the Interface Division as well as providing senior oversight to the various functions of the service.
The postholder will spend 0.5 of their role working within the Glasgow Royal Infirmary Emergency Department. The Emergency Department at Glasgow Royal Infirmary is a dynamic, fast-paced clinical environment, providing care for a diverse city population ranging from those who live and work in the culturally vibrant centre to those living with the socio-economic challenges of the largest city in Scotland. We deliver consultant led care 7 days a week until midnight and beyond (with a mix of overnight resident consultant cover and enhanced middle grade cover) within an environment of continuous learning for the entire team. We have a 14 strong middle grade tier, a highly experienced cadre of nursing colleagues (many of whom are dual qualified as ENPs) and 27 doctors on our junior rota. The clinical team manage approximately 98,000 new presentations per year.
The Emergency Department prides itself on our excellent working links with Critical Care and Acute Medicine, in-patient surgical teams (General Surgery, Orthopaedics, Plastics) and Obstetrics and Gynaecology. We have well established direct admission rights to all major specialties and aim to avoid unnecessary receiving team reviews in ED. We also provide in-patient care of head injury patients in a ward shared with Acute Medicine with twice daily ward rounds.
The department is renowned for a high standard of clinical learning, evidenced by our consistent recognition at National and Local Teaching Excellence Awards. We continue to evolve our education programme to involve the entire clinical team. We have an established simulation training programme, employ clinical teaching fellows to support both our undergraduate and postgraduate education and have the benefit of a highly motivated Nurse Educator. We also have a dedicated Quality Improvement team to coordinate projects running across the department, involving both medical and nursing staff.
As a Trauma Unit within the West of Scotland Major Trauma Network we have a Trauma Team established within the department integrating Emergency Medicine teams with both Surgical and Critical Care specialties. We are active participants in local and multicentre research trials with dedicated research staff and strong links to Glasgow University and the Clinical Research Facility.
This is a very exciting opportunity to join two excellent teams within NHS GG&C. Be part of a forward-thinking, values driven team that is shaping the future of urgent care across Greater Glasgow & Clyde and help us build a healthier, more connected system for all.
