## Job Content

### Job overview

Applications are invited for the position of Junior Clinical Fellow (previously known as Trust Doctor, SHO/FY2+ grade) in Acute Medicine, at the North Middlesex University Hospital, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust in North Central London (NCL).

This is an exciting time to join the department as we recently joined the Royal Free group and have the opportunity to realign our services to the needs of our patients.

The SDEC team is currently expanding to accommodate increased activity throughout the week, in line with the expansion of admission avoidance pathways. We have both condition-specific pathways (for high volume conditions, such as DVT, cellulitis, pyelonephritis, etc) and inclusion and exclusion criteria, allowing us to maximise the number of patients seen in SDEC thus reducing the number of hospital admissions and the number of patients seen in the emergency department.
