Locum General Internal Medicine Consultant
NHS Medical & Dental: Locum Consultant
Job overview
We are looking to expand our newly established General Internal Medicine (GIM) team with the recruitment of Locum GIM Consultants. This service line is the first of its kind at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust and is an exciting opportunity to be part this innovative and dynamic team.
Main duties of the job
Doctors working in general internal medicine (GIM) are responsible for diagnosing and treating a wide spectrum of clinical problems, ranging from the acute severely ill young person to elderly patients with multiple complex comorbidities. As part of the acute medical care workforce, GIM doctors have expertise in diagnostic reasoning, determining treatment plans for patients acutely attending hospital and referring to the appropriate specialist opinion.
However, illness does not always necessarily fall into the remit of a specific specialty especially as the ageing population have complex medical problems involving multiple symptoms. This is when patients are also cared for under the umbrella of general internal medicine, managing inpatients and outpatients with co-morbidities

We are a people business – where every member of staff matters and can make a difference. Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Joining University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust means becoming part of a team of dedicated staff, who are committed to leading the way through innovation, clinical excellence and great customer care. The Trust has great opportunities for career development in a highly progressive working environment. We offer all of this in a vibrant, modern city with a historic reputation for adventure. The working environment supports work-life balance, with options for less than full time/flexible working where requested prior to application. We encourage people from diverse backgrounds to apply for our roles.
