Overview
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.
Role and duties
- Applications are invited for a fixed-term Consultant Physician in General Medicine with an interest in Rheumatology, based at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, with outpatient activity across Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Stobhill Ambulatory Care Hospital.
- This 12-month fixed-term post is available to provide consultant cover during a period of absence of the substantive post holder. While expertise in bone and mineral metabolism is a core part of this post and highly desirable, applications from candidates without formal training in this area will also be considered in light of their wider relevant experience, skills, and the needs of the service.
- The successful candidate will work in partnership with clinical and management colleagues to deliver a full range of consultant services across inpatient and outpatient care. Outpatient work will include combined new and return clinics at Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Stobhill Ambulatory Care Hospital. The appointee will also contribute to acute medical receiving, the consultant on-call rota, and downstream ward cover at weekends.
Requirements
- Applicants must hold full GMC registration with a licence to practise and be on the GMC Specialist Register or be within six months of entry to the register at the date of interview.
- Candidates who have completed UK training should have evidence of higher specialist training leading to Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT).
