Consultant Physician in Renal and General Medicine

2 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom North Middlesex University Hospital Full time

Job overview

This is a joint post between the North Middlesex and Royal Free Hospitals, in which the post holder will be contracted to provide 5 PA for each hospital site.

Main duties of the job

The North Middlesex duties consist of 1 renal diagnostic clinic a week (42 per year). When the consultant is covering the ward, the clinic is reduced in template to a 3-hour afternoon clinic, so the total number of renal clinic delivered remains 42/year. The consultant will provide 12 weeks of GIM and renal ward cover per year on a rotational basis and will be supported by the junior doctors on the renal firm for all NMUH activities. There is a fortnightly ward discharge/AKI clinic delivered by the renal registrars and will be supervised by the ward attending consultant.

The Royal Free duties include care of a dialysis cohort of 50-60 patients, weekly Low clearance clinic (30 weeks of the year), and a chronic dialysis cohort (42 weeks each year). The post holder will also be expected to contribute to the Academic afternoon 42 weeks per year.

Working for our organisation

This is a well-established department within the trust and currently we have 4 substantive but part time (shared with RFH) consultants amounting to 2.25 whole time equivalents. We are in the process of expanding our workforce. 

Our work centres on outpatient activities for Nephrology as well as in-patient care for both renal and general medical patients. We also provide an innovative acute kidney injury (AKI) service, concentrating on those patients presenting with, or, developing stage 3 AKI whilst in hospital. 

There are 4 general nephrology clinics per week and a monthly joint diabetes/renal new patient clinic. In addition, there are monthly joint multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs) between the nephrologists and the Rheumatology, Diabetes and Urology teams, and quarterly joint meetings with the HIV.

An indicative job plan is included in the Job Description attached to this advert.

Once agreed with the clinical manager, job plans are finally signed off by the Clinical Director.
