Job summary
"Best of both" at the Whittington - The Whittington Hospital is a unique place. It combines the academic ethos of a University Hospital with the friendliness of a Rural DGH. The number of students and junior doctors who return as registrars and consultants is testament to the positive working environment and the collegiate atmosphere that has been created. Add in the lowest Standardised Mortality Ratio in the country and you have hospital that is a great place to work.
The Acute Medicine Team is at the heart of daily life at the Whittington and we are now looking for an enthusiastic and committed substantive consultant to join our team.
Our acute medical unit consists of 2 admission/ short stay wards with a total of 34 beds and a flagship award winning ambulatory care unit and the post has commitments to both.
The successful candidate as well as having an absorbing job will have numerous opportunities to continue to develop their career.
For those with an educational interest, the Whittington is one of the three UCL medical school campuses (along with UCL, Barnet and Royal Free) so there are huge opportunities for teaching. Consultants at the Whittington have become sub-deans and directors of UCL medical school and a number of consultants have formal educational roles as a part of their job plans.
Interview date: 6th June 2024.
