An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Metabolic Bone Disease team within the Geriatrics department at Cardiff & Vale UHB as a Consultant General Medicine Physician.
The Metabolic Bone Disease Service in Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CVUHB) was established in 1992 by Professor Mike Stone. It serves a local population of 445,000 people. In 2017, the service became Wales’ only Paget`s Association Centre of Excellence, and in 2023 was named as the only specialist centre for Rare Bone Disease in Wales.
The successful candidate will join the Metabolic Bone Disease Service based in the three outpatient clinics each week and support the team with continuing and developing clinical, educational and research-based activities. The consultant will also undertake clinical sessions, which can be tailored to chosen speciality, in the form of ward-based sessions on a General Internal Medicine Ward. The GIM sessions would be based in UHL and would be utilised in the form of regular ward and board rounds to provide consultant oversight for 15 patients.

A dedicated 0.7 session for ‘on-call in lieu’ is provided in the overall job plan to meet on call GIM OOH requirements which includes recognition for weekend working.
