Locum Consultant in Acute Internal Medicine

The successful candidate will deliver ward rounds on our two acute medical units, along with inreach to A&E to aid in decision making at the front door. The post holder will help to develop admission avoidance pathways and will work closely with clinicians from other medical and surgical specialties to provide specialist care in a timely manner to patients arriving on the short stay units. The post holder will also have the opportunity to assist in the continued development of the Trust's medical day case unit, developing a hot-clinic model to ensure our patients receive the right care in the right place at the right time.

The successful post holder will be expected to provide clinical leadership, diagnosis, management, and treatment for patients with a broad spectrum of medical needs; act as an expert resource for medical, nursing, and other health care professionals across the Trust footprint; and be an active champion of high-quality care. The post holder will complement and develop existing services through the provision of specialist knowledge & expertise.

The post holder is therefore required to have full registration with the General Medical Council & a valid licence to practice.

If you have a CCT within a medical specialty but are prepared to provide inpatient medical cover to the acute medical wards there will be opportunity for activity within chosen specialty.
