Job Description:
Consultant in Palliative Medicine
NHS Lanarkshire
NHS Lanarkshire is seeking an additional Consultant in Palliative Medicine to join its team and deliver Specialist Palliative Care (SPC) across Lanarkshire.
The service has developed an innovative ‘Hub’ model, where Consultants work in teams based at the three acute University Hospitals and their communities. Teams include Advanced Clinical Nurse Specialists and Clinical Nurse Specialists, working flexibly across settings to meet patient needs, reduce unnecessary admissions, and enhance symptom management and care planning.
The role involves providing remote advice via the SPC Advice and Triage line, managing hospice admission requests, and participating in a 1:8 on-call rota covering all SPC services, including hospice beds. Sub-specialty interests are welcomed and may influence the preferred ‘Hub’ placement.
This full-time position is offered on a 10 PA basis, with flexibility for part-time applicants. The post offers opportunities for involvement in teaching, research, and scholarship, with eligibility for honorary status at the University of Glasgow, including various benefits.
NHS Lanarkshire is committed to accessible recruitment and can provide publication materials in alternative formats upon request.
