This is an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to come and join our existing consultant team, to further support service development, clinical excellence and contribute to education, training and continuous quality improvement.

If this sounds like an exciting opportunity for you, then we would love to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

The primary role of the Acute Physician is to provide early patient decisions with support from junior medical staff, a dedicated nursing team, procedural support practitioners and a rapid response social and therapy team.
