Job overview

We are looking to expand our medical workforce with new substantive medical teams taking over two dedicated 14-16 bedded units.  The ideal candidate for these roles would be holders of a dual CCT in General Internal Medicine, and another medical specialty.  The successful candidate will be supported as part of their respective specialty team and undertake clinics and activity within their specialty as well as looking after GIM patients.  All medical specialties are welcome, but we would particularly encourage colleagues with a CCT in Endocrinology/Diabetes or Respiratory to apply.
