1 Surgeon Introduction This is an exciting new post and the successful candidate will become part of the Sue Ryder West Berkshire and South Oxfordshire Palliative Medicine service. The post is full-time, though part-time applicants will be considered, and includes first-on-call responsibilities across both sites in a 1 in 5 rota. While the post-holder will be predominantly based at Duchess of Kent House, he/she is expected to be flexible and be prepared to work across both inpatient units Nettlebed Hospice and Duchess of Kent House - dependent on staffing need. Sue Ryder Sue Ryder is a national charity which provides specialist palliative and neurological care throughout the U.K. Sue Ryder was founded over 50 years ago as the Sue Ryder Foundation and has major experience as a provider of care to adults with complex needs. Currently with six specialist palliative care centres across the country, Sue Ryder is one of the largest independent providers of specialist palliative care in the United Kingdom. The Department of Palliative Medicine The current Department of Palliative Medicine was formed by the joining together of the Specialist Palliative teams from Berkshire West and South Oxfordshire in April The service consists of four community teams, a hospital team, four day therapy and outpatient units and two inpatient specialist palliative care units. The present medical staff consists of four consultants: Dr Maeve McKeogh Clinical lead based with the hospital Palliative care team (HPCT) at the Royal Berkshire NHS foundation Trust Dr Pat Strubbe Consultant at Sue Ryder Nettlebed Hospice, Henley RG9 5DF Dr Annabel Borthwick Consultant at Sue Ryder Duchess of Kent House covering the inpatient unit and community teams Post to be filled Second consultant at Duchess of Kent House covering the inpatient unit and community teams August

2 Development of Integrated Palliative Care service across West Berkshire, South Oxfordshire and South Buckinghamshire In 2011, Berkshire West PCT looked for the best provider for the West Berkshire Palliative care service which consisted of the inpatient unit at Duchess of Kent House, and day therapy units at Reading, Newbury and Wokingham. Sue Ryder, who provided the service for South Oxfordshire and South Buckinghamshire with an inpatient unit based at Nettlebed Hospice, was the preferred provider for the PCT and an integrated palliative care service was formed April The exciting development has led to the creation of a consultant-led integrated Palliative care service across the West Berkshire, South Oxfordshire and South Buckinghamshire. The consultant job plans were restructured to pride a seamless service across boundaries as the aim is to provide a flexible and responsive service between the hospital, community and hospice. The consultant contracts are held by the Trust and the consultants are managed through the directorate system at the Trust. The palliative care service in the community and hospices is run by Sue Ryder, through contracts held by the 4 Clinical Commissioning Groups. The hospital palliative care team is managed directly by the Nurse Consultant and the Trust. Sue Ryder, Duchess of Kent Hospice The inpatient unit has 15 beds.
