Overview
The diabetes and endocrine service is an active department dedicated to supporting and improving the lives of its patients.
We have ten diabetes and endocrine consultants across our sites, with dedicated diabetes and endocrine specialist nurses. We also have a dedicated podiatry (foot care) service and some dietetic input.
There are dedicated diabetes endocrine wards on each site with daily ward rounds from the consultants. In addition, there is a team of endocrine nurses who provide support for dynamic endocrine tests. There are a number of general diabetes and endocrine clinics across both sites.
Responsibilities
* The post holder will be covering up to three clinics per week, depending on need for ward cover, which will be general endocrine and diabetes clinics, with room to develop sub-speciality interest in time.
* There is an expectation that the post holder will support the in-reach of the speciality into SDEC, providing daily review of patients as needed, and inpatient review of diabetes and endocrine issues on other wards will also be included.
* The post holder will be expected to attend the monthly endocrine MDT meeting and be involved in regular meetings with endocrine specialist nurses to discuss dynamic function tests.
About us
We're an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and our patients are happy with. We're no longer in special measures; we've opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, was named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal in 2024. We operate from two main sites - KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We're campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care. Our patients are benefitting from our Women's Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 94,000 scans a year. The majority of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We're proud to be a London Living Wage employer. We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
