You may choose to develop an interest in a particular area and we will support you with this, though the fundamental requirement is for a team-based clinician who cares about others. You will be part of a "sub-team", enabling more focus on particular geographical populations and promoting continuity of care in areas such as palliative care, frailty and safeguarding. Clinical Responsibilities will include a variety of duties including face to face and telephone consultations and visiting patients at home.

We deliver excellent patient care and can only do this with an excellent team of staff.
