Reading, United Kingdom Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

The departments provide an outpatient service based upon shared-care protocols and consultations provided directly by consultants or by properly-supervised clinical assistants and junior medical staff. The clinics are held at the Royal Berkshire Hospital or in the spoke sites (Bracknell Hospital, West Berkshire Community Hospital or Townlands Hospital, Henley-on-Thames).

The inpatient work will be primarily providing acute medical care but covering other activities may be required for example to provide specialist opinions and to support the in-patients of the other medical and surgical specialities across the Trust. The appointee will be expected to provide prospective cover for the other consultants for all their clinical activities other than outpatient clinics. Annual, professional and study leave is thus agreed with colleagues before being booked with prospective cover in mind.

The simulation date is 19th June 2024 and the interview is 04th July 2024.
