Job description Job responsibilities

The Royal Devon is seeking to appoint Consultant Physicians in Healthcare for the Older Person and Stroke Medicine based at the North Devon District Hospital site in Barnstaple.

The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was established in April 2022, bringing together the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust and the Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust to provide core services to a population of 615,000 and specialist services to a wider population across the South West Peninsula. It is a unique organisation with integrated acute and community services across North and Mid Devon that shares one advanced electronic notes system (EPIC) with an integrated patient portal. The departments of healthcare for the older person are fully integrated and work closely together as one team. Consultants deliver face-to-face and remote care from both the Barnstaple and Exeter sites. The department will support newly appointed consultants to develop sub-specialty interests and to pursue research and teaching interests.

This is a great opportunity to make your mark by developing and upgrading our elderly care services with the support of our senior management and team of consultants.
