Swansea Bay Palliative Care Team are pleased and excited to advertise these 2 new consultant posts:
• Community Palliative Care
• Inpatient Palliative Care Unit and Community Palliative Care

These posts are part of the expansion of the established and well-respected department of Specialist Palliative Care to better meet the palliative and end of life care needs of patients and their families. It forms part of the Health Board’s Clinical Redesign Programme (CRP) which will transform the way the health board functions. The CRP includes use of virtual wards in community and primary care and redesigning the function of each of the three major hospitals.

As Phoebe Taplin outlined in her Guardian article of August 21 there are many reasons to base yourself in Swansea and “imagine [you’re] somewhere Mediterranean.” Swansea has low living costs and plenty of reasons to keep your work and life goals in balance partly due to it proximity to outstanding natural beauty such as the Gower Peninsula and the Brecon Beacons National Park– while London is still only 3 hours away by train.
• Together with Consultant colleagues, be responsible for the provision of specialist palliative care to the Swansea Bay University Health Board, and for the community it serves.
• Be based in the specialist inpatient unit and community team. Indicative data for the clinical workload in these areas is given in the descriptions.
• Have responsibility for the proper functioning of the department in line with the operational policies of the Health Board.
• Be expected to provide second on call cover in association with other Consultant colleagues to support the first on call junior and middle grade doctors. The Consultant rota currently includes cover for six beds in Tŷ Bryngwyn, Prince Phillip Hospital, Hywel Dda Health Board, twelve beds in Tŷ Olwen. 1.5 WTE Consultant in Palliative Medicine Hywel Dda participates in this on-call rota, with the understanding that this is shortly due to increase by up to 2 WTE.
• When on call, provide telephone advice on specialist palliative care to primary and secondary care teams for the South West Wales population and in exceptional circumstances the direct assessment of patients. The on call workload is highly variable and on average amounts to a few hours’ unplanned work per weekend day including some phone calls, some attendances at the inpatient units and occasionally assessments elsewhere. Consideration is given to time off in lieu after on call working when this is required by the out of hours workload.

Swansea Bay University Health Board has responsibility for the health of around 390,000 people in the Neath Port Talbot and Swansea areas, with a budget of around £1 billion and employing 12,500 people. We are a University Health Board working in partnership with Swansea University, Swansea School of Medicine, the School of Health Science and the Institute of Life Science. The HB has three major hospitals providing a range of services: Morriston and Singleton hospitals in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot hospital in Baglan, Port Talbot.

The Health Board is part of A Regional Collaboration for Health (ARCH), which is a partnership with Hywel Dda UHB and Swansea University. Aimed at improving the wellbeing and wealth of South West Wales.

Swansea is Wales' second-largest city, and sits on the five-mile sweep of Swansea Bay. An ideal base for exploring South-West Wales, there is also much on offer for visitors in Swansea itself. Swansea has a range of shops, cozy cafes, great restaurants, art galleries as well as being able to offer good outdoor lifestyle with its beautiful coastline and beaches on the Gower Peninsula. Swansea also has excellent sporting facilities including the Wales National pool and liberty stadium home to the Ospreys and Swansea City football club.

• The Consultants in Palliative Medicine across Wales meet as a group on a three monthly basis to discuss postgraduate and management issues.
• You will be required to support the Clinical Director, the Lead Clinician and the Directorate management team in the efficient running of services.
• Participation in the managerial process is viewed as an essential requirement to effective Consultant function. In addition, it should be noted that a clinical directorate structure is in operation, which requires close cooperation and liaison with colleagues, as appropriate.
• Ensure that arrangements are in place for the organisation of medical staff and that they are allocated duties in accordance with the work of the specialty and within the level of their competence.
• Maintain the confidence of business plans and development strategies formulated for the specialty, Directorate and Health Board.
