The statutory requirement to be fully Covid-19 vaccinated as a condition of employment from April 2022 is subject to legislative review. At Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, we strongly encourage and support vaccination uptake as this remains the best line of defence against COVID19. The successful applicant may have contact with patients and service users and as part of our pre-employment checks and risk assessments, we will ask all candidates to confirm whether or not they have been fully vaccinated or have a medical exemption.

As part of our continued response to Covid19 we are still conducting the majority of our interviews virtually.

Trust grade doctors are based on the ward. The day starts with a MDT review of potential ward discharges. Patient-orientated tasks arise from the ward round where they present the new patients. The rest of the day is spent continuing the care of the patients on the ward, completing specific tasks from the ward round and dealing with acutely unwell patients.

During a normal day on the ward the trust grade doctors will summarise the new patients on the ward and update the list of patients. They will present on the ward round and prioritise any tasks created during the round. After the ward round they will continue to complete tasks and deal with unpredictable events such as deteriorating patients. They will also be involved in discussions with family members and continue to care for the patients on the wards.
