Overview
We have an exciting opportunity for a consultant who is interested in working within an innovative NHS Trust that is regarded as Outstanding by the CQC.
Applications are invited for a whole‑time Consultant post in Microbiology & Infection (10 PAs, of which 8.5 are DCC and 1.5 are SPA) based at East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, which is the main acute site for Surrey & Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (SASH).
Responsibilities
We are looking for a consultant who is highly motivated, committed to improvement, patient‑centred and a strong team‑player. If you are interested in ambulatory (COPAT, SDEC, virtual ward) and multi‑disciplinary infection services over and above core clinical microbiology services, then this post will be very attractive to you.
Qualifications
Applicants must hold FRCPath or equivalent and must be on the GMC Specialist Register (or be within six months of being included in the register). In addition, training in infectious diseases and holding MRCP are highly desirable.
Team and Academic Opportunities
The successful candidate will be part of a team of two full‑time consultant microbiologists, one full‑time associate specialist in microbiology and infection, one specialty registrar, four infection prevention & control nurses, one antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist, one practice development nurse and one tissue viability nurse.
There are academic, teaching and research opportunities through the Trust’s association with Brighton & Sussex Medical School as well as our own highly active R&D department. A suitably qualified candidate may be eligible for an honorary academic appointment at the medical School. The Trust is a partner of Berkshire & Surrey Pathology Services (BSPS), which would present further academic and research opportunities via the University of Surrey.
Benefits
The Trust offers a contribution towards relocation expenses.
