Position Overview & Specifications

A high performing organisation, rated good by the CQC, with a track record of success. This is an exciting time to join the Acute Medicine and Medicine Specialties Teams at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust. The aspirations for our patient focused services are bold. We are a forward thinking team that prides itself on providing high quality clinical care. We aim to have a true 7 day service and, to realise that aim, we are increasing our consultant physician workforce by 50% over the next 2 years. There will also be a marked increase in junior medical and other clinical staff to support this development.

We are an enthusiastic and motivated unit providing ample opportunities to develop and reshape the delivery of both diabetes and endocrine services in County Durham and Darlington. We are looking for new colleagues who will be able to work with us to achieve this goal.

We see this as a great opportunity for those who have traditionally worked within the hospital and those moving into their first consultant post, to consider ingenious ways of delivering care closer to home while being an established secondary care clinician.
