About this role
Job summary
This post will run parallel to our current SPR grade role, and will offer identical opportunities to take part in consultant supervised training relating to both the general medical and diabetes/endocrinology curriculum. It would ideally suit a candidate looking to progress into the speciality at SPR level who wishes to gain more experience in it.
The successful candidate would undertake two clinics per week (one in diabetes and another in endocrinology) with the chance to participate in sub-speciality work as listed above, together with helping support speciality based in-reach work, and providing on-going support to other team members on our general medical ward. In addition, they would be encouraged to attend sub-speciality clinics, and to support local research/audit initiatives. At present, the post-holder will not be expected to participate in general medical acute on-call services - however, should the successful applicant wish to be part of our current 18 man medical SPR rota for such on-calls, it will be possible to arrange this, with appropriate remuneration.
