Job summary

Recruitment incentive/Golden Hello: £20K

WVT invites passionate and motivated Consultants to join our newly established Department of General (Internal) Medicine. As we address the healthcare needs of our community, especially elderly patients and those with complex multi-morbidities, we seek skilled professionals to be part of this exciting journey.

In this diverse role, you’ll diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions, from acutely ill younger patients to elderly individuals with complex needs. You’ll provide continuous care in both hospital and outpatient settings for patients who don’t fit into a single specialty.

Collaborating with Geriatric Medicine, Acute Medicine, and General Medicine, you’ll work within a close-knit, multidisciplinary team. You’ll also mentor clinical fellows pursuing CESR in General Medicine and take on educational roles such as Foundation trainee supervisor or Royal College Tutor.

We offer a supportive work-life balance, including a 1 in 13 weekend on-call rota with time off in lieu. There’s a strong emphasis on professional development with dedicated CPD time, clinical governance, and research opportunities, including recruitment for NIHR and commercial studies.

If you’re ready to contribute to improving patient outcomes and embrace diverse clinical challenges, we’d love to hear from you. Candidates should have a CCT or CESR in General (Internal) Medicine and a passion for patient care.

Main duties of the job

As a Consultant in General (Internal) Medicine at Hereford Hospital, you will be responsible for diagnosing and treating a broad spectrum of clinical conditions, ranging from acutely ill younger patients to elderly individuals with complex, multi-morbidities. You’ll manage patients who do not fit within a single specialty, providing continued care in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Your primary duties will include working within a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care across Redbrook Ward (24 beds), Arrow Ward (8 beds), and surgical wards as needed for medical outliers. You will oversee complex cases and ensure that patients receive the right specialist care at the right time.

In addition, you’ll help shape the department’s training structure, participating in weekly ward huddles, mortality and morbidity meetings, and supporting the professional development of clinical fellows, including those working towards CESR in General (Internal) Medicine.

There is also an opportunity to take on educational roles, such as supervising Foundation trainees and acting as a Royal College Tutor. Participation in the weekend on-call rota (1 in 13) and involvement in clinical governance, audits, and CPD will form part of your role, with dedicated time for these activities.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a growing department and make a real impact in patient care, with the chance to develop clinical expertise across a wide range of specialties.
