Medical specialties include inpatient nephrology and satellite dialysis units on 2 other sites.
The successful candidate would be expected to be able to deliver daytime work on all three sites of the trust; the on call contribution for intensive care however will be only delivered at the Doncaster Royal Infirmary.We would like to invite interested colleagues to arrange a visit to the trust to meet clinicians and senior managers.
