Job Specifications

This is an exciting opportunity to join the team in the newly founded Directorate of General Internal Medicine providing inpatient care for acute general medical admissions on the Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital site. The job will predominantly be to provide Consultant level inpatient ward cover of the General Internal Medicine wards though there may be opportunity for subspecialist interest OPD activity.

The Consultant in General Internal Medicine will provide general medical care on one of the GIM wards at the Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital site. The ward will have 22-25 beds and cross cover may be required to support colleagues annual leave. The ward cover will be supported across the directorate by 2 Specialty Doctors, a Senior Clinical Fellow and Junior Clinical Fellows

The Division of Medicine and Emergency Care is implementing an optimisation plan for the inpatient medical wards to improve patient care, experience and safety with the aim to have the right patients on the right wards for their medical needs. The established medical directorates of Acute Medicine, Cardiology, Digestive Diseases, Metabolic Medicine, Medicine for Older People and Respiratory Medicine all have inpatient wards and the newly established General Internal Medicine wards will add to the bed base with 2 additional GIM wards initially and a 3rd ward has also been funded for 6 months of the year to manage winter pressures.

New Consultants will be supported on a consultant leadership programme.
