Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Oxford, England, gb
Horton General Hospital Consultant in Acute General Medicine (AGM) and Rheumatology Applications are invited for a consultant post in Acute General Medicine (AGM) and Rheumatology at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust (OUHFT). The OUH NHS Trust comprises four hospitals: the John Radcliffe, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Churchill Hospital and the Horton General Hospital. Applicants will be based mainly at the Horton Hospital with sessions at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre. This is an exciting time to join AGM and Rheumatology at OUHFT and become part of a consultant workforce with a reputation for excellence. We are seeking enthusiastic colleagues who are skilled in the delivery of acute medical care and the interface with the Emergency Department and other hospital specialties. The post offers integration with a large rheumatology department which has strong academic links to the University of Oxford. The Horton General Hospital is located in the market town of Banbury and serves the growing population of North Oxfordshire and surrounding areas. The AGM department has recently transformed the way in which consultant-led care is delivered across the inpatient areas with a dedicated EAU consultant, ward based medical teams and increased Ambulatory care. We work in a flexible and modular way that allows the opportunity for ongoing consultant career development. We expect the successful candidate to develop their subspeciality interests. We will support new colleagues in developing teaching and leadership roles. The Trust is a clinically led organisation and AGM consultants play key senior management roles. Research activities are developing and new appointments may support this. The Trust is one of the NHS Digital Exemplar sites and is already paper-light in many areas. New colleagues are expected to support this ongoing work; training will be provided. The appointments are on a full-time basis. Applications are welcome from those who wish to job share or work less than full-time, or from those looking to combine clinical work with a research career or teaching and training. Those with academic and subspecialty interests are encouraged to discuss the opportunities that are available. Oxford is a beautiful historic city. We have excellent schools and fabulous communities. There is good access to London, the Cotswolds and rail links around the Country. There is something for everyone. To apply and gain further details of this post, please click the Apply button.
