Trust Locum Acute Medical Consultant

Candidates with a background in Acute Medicine, or those dual trained in General Internal Medicine and a medical specialty would be welcome to apply. Specialty sessions are strongly encouraged and would be accommodated where possible. Our team is passionate about delivering safe, considerate care to a high standard. You will be working with an experienced team of nurses, advanced nurse practitioners and designated discharge support services.

We believe Acute Medicine is rewarding work that requires a balanced job plan allowing time for reflection and education, away from direct clinical care. This is essential for sustainability and to ensure we have the best diagnostic physicians working at the front door to ensure high quality patient care, junior doctor supervision and excellent service delivery. The successful applicant will have a role in teaching both under- and postgraduate students and will also support colleagues doing these activities as part of their agreed job plan.

Please see the Job Description and Person Specification attached. This JD has been approved by the Trust.
