Consultant Physician in Renal and General Medicine
NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant
The North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust is a medium-sized acute and community trust with over 525 beds and over 600 community staff, serving more than 600,000 people living across Enfield and Haringey and the surrounding areas, including Barnet and Waltham Forest.
The hospital has been on its present site for over 100 years and was established as an NHS trust by statute in December 1990. The Trust’s services are provided on the North Middlesex University Hospital site as well as a range of community sites across the London Borough of Enfield, including at partner hospitals. They provide services in collaboration with a range of partners, including local GPs, acute, mental health and other community health service providers across North Central London.
In the year ending 31 March 2022, the Trust reported a turnover of £419.7m and employed almost 4,000 staff. Following the transfer of Enfield Community Services on 1st April 2023, this has increased as we have welcomed over 600 new staff including District Nurses, Community Matrons, Community Physiotherapists, Psychologists and many more across a wide range of adult and children’s community services in Enfield. It is an exciting time to join North Mid as we continue our journey to become an integrated care organisation to deliver high quality, seamless care in our local communities, with a focus on tackling health inequalities.
Job overview
This is a joint post between the North Middlesex and Royal Free Hospitals, in which the post holder will be contracted to provide 5 PA for each hospital site.
Main duties of the job
The North Middlesex duties consist of 1 renal diagnostic clinic a week (42 per year). When the consultant is covering the ward, the clinic is reduced in template to a 3-hour afternoon clinic, so the total number of renal clinic delivered remains 42/year. The consultant will provide 12 weeks of GIM and renal ward cover per year on a rotational basis and will be supported by the junior doctors on the renal firm for all NMUH activities. There is a fortnightly ward discharge/AKI clinic delivered by the renal registrars and will be supervised by the ward attending consultant.
The Royal Free duties include care of a dialysis cohort of 50-60 patients, weekly Low clearance clinic (30 weeks of the year), and a chronic dialysis cohort (42 weeks each year). The post holder will also be expected to contribute to the Academic afternoon 42 weeks per year.
Working for our organisation
This is a well-established department within the trust and currently we have 4 substantive but part time (shared with RFH) consultants amounting to 2.25 whole time equivalents. We are in the process of expanding our workforce.
Our work centres on outpatient activities for Nephrology as well as in-patient care for both renal and general medical patients. We also provide an innovative acute kidney injury (AKI) service, concentrating on those patients presenting with, or, developing stage 3 AKI whilst in hospital.
There are 4 general nephrology clinics per week and a monthly joint diabetes/renal new patient clinic. In addition, there are monthly joint multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs) between the nephrologists and the Rheumatology, Diabetes and Urology teams, and quarterly joint meetings with the HIV.
