Our Acute Medicine department is based on the Queen’s Medical Centre campus. The service is being ambitiously and innovatively restructured, expanded and modernised. This work is already well underway but there are still opportunities for new colleagues to get involved and to influence the shape of our service going forward. Our vision for the service is a senior-led, front door service working across traditional boundaries and in close partnership with colleagues in the ED, Critical Care, medical specialties, and Primary Care.

NUH has a national and international reputation for high quality patient care and research, education and innovation. We have strong links to local universities. This allows for the provision of excellent training and education for students, as well as being a major research organisation.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

We have expanded our bed base, and we have plans to further develop our SDEC provision. We strive to offer the very best care for our patients. The team is committed to providing continuous service improvement with opportunities for everyone to contribute.

We actively encourage flexibility and diversity of interests in our team; existing consultants are supported in a range of special interests and roles including Maternity Medicine, Toxicology, bedside ultrasound, post graduate medical education and governance.
