Main duties of the job
A community of half a million is eagerly anticipating the brand new Midland Metropolitan Hospital. It will be worth the wait. Its opening will be the beginning of a fresh chapter in our ambitious journey to be the nation's leading provider of integrated care. As well as being the closest adult hospital to Birmingham's busy city centre, Midland Metropolitan Hospital will offer dedicated maternity and children's services. Crucially, it will bring together teams who provide acute, emergency care, in line with the views expressed in our public consultation. It will provide state-of-the-art treatment and care for patients from Sandwell and across the region and will become the civic heart of the area and a point of pride for the community.

The programme includes one of the largest investments in the UK with new facilities in both the acute and community sectors. Included within this is the new Midland Metropolitan Hospital.
