Not sure what to do in August 2026? Keen to gain more experience in Medicine with a friendly team that is interested in your development as a doctor before deciding on your next career move? Are you interested in teaching? Would you prefer to reduce your out-of-hours commitment? UHBD is looking for motivated, enthusiastic doctors to join their Trust on fixed‑term 12‑month contracts. A busy, progressive, forward‑thinking Trust, we have been successfully recruiting to these posts for nine years and would like you to join our consultants and teams working in Specialist and Acute Medicine.

You will receive educational and clinical supervision, a £500 study leave budget (pro rata) and 5 days study leave (pro rata), access to an ePortfolio and be encouraged to join the weekly teaching programmes. Subject to individual requirements, there may be scope to attend ALS or IMPACT courses and we will facilitate your annual appraisal.
