NHS Medical & Dental: Junior Clinical Fellow

Job overview

We are seeking to recruit junior doctors to posts in acute paediatrics with neonatology at West Middlesex Hospital.

They are ideally suited to trainees who want to gain clinical skills in a general hospital setting of undifferentiated presentations.
