NHS Lothian is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.

The post-holder will work across General Medicine and Diabetes & Endocrinology, joining a team of enthusiastic and motivated consultant physicians within a unit recognised for its innovation and passion for improvement. The unit has a strong emphasis on medical education and training as well as close links with the Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit, input from all the medical specialties, and close liaison with primary care colleagues.

General Medicine duties will involve on-call duties for Medicine at St John’s Hospital, based in the Medical Admissions Unit and/or the Emergency Medical Assessment (EMA) unit where GP referrals and ambulatory patients are managed. There is a Level 1 High Dependency Care area adjacent to the Medical Admissions Unit.

Diabetes & Endocrinology duties involve inpatient care, specialty in-reach, Diabetes & Endocrinology out-patient clinics and close partnership with MDT colleagues. There is also opportunity to develop a sub-specialist area of interest.

As well as clinical duties, this post will have a commitment to the delivery of undergraduate teaching at St John’s Hospital, in particular teaching within a clinical environment (e.g. teaching ward rounds, exemplar clinics) and simulation training. Other non-clinical interests are encouraged for example management, post-graduate education, quality improvement, and research. A large number of trainee doctors rotate through the medical unit and the successful applicant may wish to have a role in educational supervision.
