This role offers the successful candidate an opportunity to contribute to the further development of a well-established service. The post will suit candidates who are passionate about diagnostic accuracy, motivated to work in an acute service, and can make sound clinical decisions.

We stream medical patients directly into our SDEC from Primary Care, ambulance providers, and the Emergency Department. The successful candidate will provide support, advice, and guidance to the Medical SDEC team alongside their Acute Medical Unit duties.

Our SDEC provides a comprehensive service aided by our excellent relationship with general internal medicine specialties, pharmacy, and radiology. Complex medical diagnoses can be established and then referred to the relevant specialty for continuing care.
