Acute Medicine
Acute Medicine in Yorkshire has an (approx.) total of 30 specialty trainees, each on a four year programme. Acute medicine is defined as ‘that part of general internal medicine concerned with the immediate and early specialist management of adult patients with a wide range of medical conditions who present in (ie to or from within) hospital as emergencies.’ (Acute Medicine: making it work for patients. www.rcplondon.ac.uk/pubs/books/AcuteMedicine/index.htm). Administratively, Acute Medicine in Yorkshire is divided in to the West (Airedale, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds and mid-Yorkshire) and the East (Grimsby, Hull, Scarborough, Scunthorpe, York).
The TPD for the west is Dr Nick Scriven (MAU Consultant, Calderdale, Nicholas.Scriven@cht.nhs.uk) and the TPD for the east is Alison Corlett Consultant Physician, York.
The Study Leave co-ordinator for Yorkshire is Dr Deepak Bhatia (Consultant in Acute Medicine at Hull Royal Infirmary). Study leave forms can be downloaded here.
There is a nominated consultant in each hospital who organises Acute Medicine training and sits on the Deanery specialty training committee (STC).
