Are you looking for a welcoming and supportive department in which
to develop your skills? With our part-annualised work pattern,
generous SPA allowance, collaborative and inclusive team ethic, and
excellent clinical facilities, we offer a great place to work.
We are looking for a friendly and enthusiastic colleague at any stage
of their consultant career to join our popular and well-regarded team.
Our award-winning hospital, in a fantastic location provides genuine
opportunities for a great work-life balance.
Consultants have a responsibility to the Chief Executive and a
commensurate authority in respect of the reasonable and effective
use of such hospital resources and staff as they use and influence.
Each Consultant is expected to deliver their service within the agreed
resources available, supported by the responsible Service Manager.
In addition, there is a collective responsibility falling on all Consultants
to consult with colleagues, and hence to co-ordinate their individual
activities, in order to ensure that the particular clinical service with
which they are involved operates effectively.
The Trust places a high importance on excellence in clinical practice.
Full participation in ensuring compliance with the Trust’s Clinical
Governance process is required.
Maintain and process all information concerning patients, staff,
contractors or the business of the Trust to which the post holder has
access, without divulging such information to any third party or make
use of information gained in the course of employment, except where
this is clearly within the remit of the post holder and the other party’s
responsibility.

build completed in December 2014 with a 4-bed resuscitation room

dementia, and internal CBRN decontamination facilities.
There are separate paediatric and adult waiting areas, and a chair
