The department are interested in doctors who have a strong background in medicine, ideally they’d like somebody who is motivated to learn and develop their clinical skills further. This is a great option for a doctor coming from overseas for their first NHS role or for doctors already based in the UK who are looking to relocate or step up.

• You will be seeing patients who are coming to the hospital needing treatment for urgent medical conditions. You’ll see them from the moment of admission for initial treatment, after which they’ll be discharged or referred to the relevant department in the hospital. Patients will spend a maximum of 72 hours in Acute Medicine before either being discharged or transferred to another department.
• Participate in the Acute Medicine on call. This is currently a 1:9 but is subject to change.
