There is a separate on call service covering Intervention, which is currently shared amongst all six members of the Interventional team.

Clinical Governance, other duties and obligations

Clinical governance is assuming an ever greater importance within the HSE, and within the Division and Trust.  All consultants are expected to contribute to the development of governance in its widest sense.

The appointee will have an overriding duty of care to patients and is expected to comply fully with best practice standards.  He/she has a responsibility to comply with Trust policies for personal and patient safety and for prevention of healthcare-associated infection (HCAI); this includes a requirement for rigorous and consistent compliance with Trust policies for hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment and safe disposal of sharps.  Knowledge, skills and behaviour in the workplace should reflect this.  At annual appraisal, the appointee will be asked about application of practice measures known to be effective in reducing HCAI.

The post-holder will comply with the Trust’s clinical governance requirements and participate in related initiatives where appropriate.  This will include participating in clinical audit and review of outcomes, working towards achievement of national and local performance management targets, complying with risk management policies, and participating in the consultant appraisal process.

The post-holder will also be responsible for maintaining satisfactory patient notes and, when relevant, for entering data on to a computer database in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Data Protection Act.

In line with HSC 2003/11, it is the hospital Trust policy that clinicians who wish to introduce an interventional procedure that the clinician has not performed before, or has only performed outside the HSE, must seek approval from their divisional and medical directors.  The intention to introduce the procedure must then be notified to the Quality and Safety committee. The committee will require assurance that the divisional director has reviewed the safety and efficacy of the procedure, if it is not subject to NICE guidance, and that the lead clinician has discussed any equipment or staff training issues associated with it with the relevant general manager(s).  If the proposed interventional procedure does not appear on the NICE website, the clinician should register it with the Interventional Procedure Programme on the NICE website. The Clinical Effectiveness Coordinator in the Governance department is available to help and advise clinicians wishing to introduce a new procedure
