You will work closely with the whole clinical team to ensure that we offer the highest standards of care and develop our services to meet the changing needs of our patients. Senior support is provided by the Medical Director and experienced specialty doctors in Palliative Care.
The post offers the opportunity to be involved in a wide range of initiatives such as teaching, research, and audit. There are ample opportunities to develop your interest in the specialty through regular medical educational sessions and teaching ward rounds.
The job plan can be discussed and you will also have 1 SPA per week (WTE).
