We are looking to recruit a new Consultant into our Acute Medicine Service to join a dynamic and enthusiastic team of acute physicians at St Helier Hospital.
We run a consultant led service on the AMU with strong specialty in‑reach support and have a newly renovated, dedicated Same Day Emergency Care Unit (SDEC) that runs in collaboration with Emergency Medicine and provides same day medical assessment care to lower acuity patients, strengthening and improving admission avoidance.
Successful applicants will join a team of AMU consultants developing and providing exciting new services within acute medicine within a trust recently identified as one of the trusts in London to receive £500 million for a new acute hospital facility in Sutton (expected 2025). This is an exciting time to join Epsom and St Helier Hospital and play a part in shaping and developing acute medicine services for the future.
For applicants for which achievement of CESR is relevant there is an active supportive structure within the Trust to achieve this and it will be actively encouraged.
