These posts will contributepro ratato the Acute Medicine Rotas in operation at the time of appointment and as they change with service reconfiguration.

The medical team at Northwick Park takes around 90 to 120 referrals per day, and the team at Ealing takes around 30 to 50 referrals.

Around 1/3 of these are streamed via the Same Day Emergency Care pathways, seen on the Ambulatory Care Units.

Staffing of take, Ambulatory Care, AMU wards and HDU is being brought in line with RCP recommended staffing ratios with these new appointments.

London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust (LNWH) cares for the people of Brent, Ealing, Harrow and beyond.

Our team of more than 8,200 clinical and support staff serve a diverse population of almost one million people.

We run major acute services at:

  • Northwick Park Hospital: home to one of the busiest emergency departments (A&E) in the country. The hospital provides a full range of services including the country's top-rated hyper-acute stroke unit and one of only three hyper-acute rehabilitation units in the UK
  • St Mark's Hospital: an internationally renowned specialist centre for bowel disease
  • Ealing Hospital: a busy district general hospital providing a range of clinical services, as well as 24/7 emergency department and urgent care centre, and specialist care at Meadow House Hospice
  • Central Middlesex Hospital: our planned care site, hosting a range of surgical and outpatient services and collocated with an urgent care centre.


We are a university teaching NHS trust, in recognition of the important role we play in training clinicians of the future and bringing the benefits of research to the public.


Posts will be based predominantly at Northwick Park Hospital but there is the option of cross site working at Ealing Hospital as well.


Northwick Park Hospital:


Northwick Park is a Major Acute Hospital with a busy medical take and an established reputation for patients presenting with a very wide range of medical conditions with a high degree of acuity.

Recognition of the vital role that is played by Acute Medicine has seen the Trust make a substantial investment in the service.

This will enable the department to develop three Acute Medical Unit wards (on a phased approach) with patients remaining under the care of the acute team for their duration on the unit.

In addition the team runs the award-winning Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit and the well-established Medical High Dependency Unit. Participation in HDU will be optional dependent on previous experience and competencies.


The post holders will join six acute medicine consultants, fourteen acute/specialty consultants and thirty-three specialty medical consultants who together are responsible for providing the acute and general internal medicine service at Northwick Park Hospital.


Ealing Hospital:

The Acute Medicine service is thriving at Ealing hospital.

After an uncertain period during which the Emergency Department faced closure with unclear implications for acute services on the site we can now plan with confidence for the future.

The department has a well-deserved reputation for excellence in teaching and training.

The Acute Medical Unit is a 33-bedded ward through which all acute medical admissions are streamed. The department is in the process of expanding the Ambulatory Service. A new unit has recently been opened, co-located with the Acute Frailty Service. The team has pioneered ambulatory care for patients with Heart Failure, winning multiple awards. The challenge now is to stream a larger proportion of medical referrals through the Ambulatory Service.
