Job Description:
Consultant Physician in Acute & General Medicine
NHS Lanarkshire - University Hospital Monklands
University Hospital Monklands (UHM) is looking for a Consultant Physician in Acute & General Medicine to join its existing team, currently made up of four Acute Physicians, General Physicians with sub-specialty interests, and the wider multi-disciplinary team.
The department has redesigned its Medical Assessment Unit (MAU) processes, enabling it to take forward a number of exciting new ‘front door’ developments including the establishment of an Ambulatory Emergency Care (AEC) unit.
The Acute Physicians are well supported by Physician of the Day and dedicated Physician of the Week models, alongside Specialist Nurses in MAU. Excellent support is also provided by nursing and medical colleagues in the Emergency Department.
The successful applicants will participate in the acute rota which is variable and flexible depending on the commitments of the team, and will also participate in the Physician of the Week/Day and weekend on-call rotas.
Applications are invited from enthusiastic individuals who are keen to contribute to the ongoing development of services. Sub-specialty clinical interests are welcome and will be supported.
The job is offered as a full-time post on a 10 PA basis with breakdown being 8 Direct Clinical Care and 2 Supporting Professional Activity, subject to confirmation and approval of the final job plan. Applications will be considered from those wishing to work less than full-time.
It is an exciting time to join UHM with the location of our new hospital now identified. This will be Scotland’s first digital hospital which, through the use of available technologies, will enhance the patient journey and staff experience. Clinical staff are actively encouraged to contribute to the development of the clinical models to support the planning of the new hospital.
The University of Glasgow enjoys close links with NHS Lanarkshire, and our medical students benefit greatly from the excellent educational opportunities provided by the board in both primary and secondary care. Those who are or who will be involved in teaching our students, or in any other activity which involves a contribution to teaching, research or scholarship within the University are eligible for honorary status at the University of Glasgow.
Honorary Status Role Holders are entitled to numerous benefits including a University of Glasgow ID card, use of the Library and other facilities, and a University IT account as required for their role. They have access to all courses run by the IT Services on the same basis as members of staff and are also permitted an educational discount when PC equipment is purchased through the IT Services.
Interviews are scheduled for: 29th July 2025.
