Weeks "off-the-ward" are built into this roster.

This structure also allows flexibility of FTE, with options to work less than 1.0 FTE by working fewer "on-the-ward" weeks across the year.
Key responsibilities of the role: * Direct inpatient care and acute assessment of Thames General Medicine patients, including providing General Medicine Specialist support for the Thames Emergency Department * Supporting primary and ambulatory care including providing phone advice to General Practitioners, electronic triaging of referrals from primary care, providing outpatient assessment (General Medicine Clinic and Exercise Treadmill tests), and communicating with General Practitioners (Clinic Letters, Discharge Summaries, and other communications).
* Providing support, leadership and education to Thames General Medicine Resident Medical Officers.
* Collaborating with Thames and Waikato Hospital SMOs and patient flow managers to ensure safe, timely and efficient transfer of patients between hospitals.
In a modern health system, patient flow is indivisible from patient care.
