NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant
Job overview
We are excited to welcome a dynamic Consultant in General Medicine with good general medical experience and the ability to work closely with the MDT and specialty colleagues as necessary to ensure efficient patient journeys, and high-quality care to join our enthusiastic and dynamic group of Physicians at Frimley Health Foundation NHS Trust. If the right applicant has a concurrent specialty CCT, we could discuss the option of some potential clinic/procedural time depending on specialty, this would be subject to negotiation.
Main duties of the job
We are looking to expand our medical workforce within the medical teams to run a stable 27 bedded general medical ward and a variable number of medical outliers in other zones as the need arises over winter (may be up to 35-40 patients) with 2 consultants. These would be relatively short stay patients so would need dynamic individuals with good general medical experience and ability to work closely with the MDT and specialty colleagues as necessary to ensure efficient patient journeys and high-quality care. The right applicant would need to provide good clinical supervision and support of a team of resident doctors, but not formal educational supervision.
