The main task for a RMO is risk management, this entails recognizing and assessing a change in a patient’s condition and communicating that to the consultant in charge of the patient. The RMO is also responsible for leading the “crash team” in the event of a cardiac arrest situation, you are expected to take total charge of the situation and advise the other clinicians on what action to take.
As an RMO, you will deal largely with patients in a post-surgical setting. In every task you’ll be supported by a close-working nursing team, the detailed job description of an RMO may vary depending on the hospital, however qualification requirements are standard.
Essential Requirements:
• You will be a Graduate holding a recognized medical degree, obtained following 6 years of study

• Post-qualification experience should include an absolute minimum of 6 months surgery and 6 months medicine.
• Relevant experience should fall into the following categories: General surgery, Orthopaedic surgery, General Medicine, Accident & Emergency.
• Paediatrics is an essential requirement for a significant number of clients and for these a minimum of 6 months must be demonstrated. This should have been gained within the last 3 years. Doctors who have only worked with pediatrics and who therefore do not have significant experience with adults in the recent past will not be accepted.

• Must have perform minimum 400 cannulations, 400 blood takings, 50 male catheterisations and interpreted a minimum of 200 ECGs.

RMOs ordinarily work week on, week off (1:1) rotations. Whilst some variations on this pattern are in operation, it is felt that 1:1 rotations offer the safest working conditions for the doctors within the hospitals, whilst providing the doctors with consolidated blocks of work to minimise their need to travel.
The hospitals that operate 1:1 rotations provide free on-duty accommodation and meals, and internet access is provided to doctors.
