Full Job Description
As a Consultant in General (Internal) Medicine at Hereford Hospital, you will be responsible for diagnosing and treating a broad spectrum of clinical conditions, ranging from acutely ill younger patients to elderly individuals with complex, multi-morbidities. You'll manage patients who do not fit within a single specialty, providing continued care in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Your primary duties will include working within a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care across Redbrook Ward (24 beds), Arrow Ward (8 beds), and surgical wards as needed for medical outliers. You will oversee complex cases and ensure that patients receive the right specialist care at the right time.
In addition, you'll help shape the department's training structure, participating in weekly ward huddles, mortality and morbidity meetings, and supporting the professional development of clinical fellows, including those working towards CESR in General (Internal) Medicine.
There is also an opportunity to take on educational roles, such as supervising Foundation trainees and acting as a Royal College Tutor. Participation in the weekend on-call rota (1 in 13) and involvement in clinical governance, audits, and CPD will form part of your role, with dedicated time for these activities.
This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a growing department and make a real impact in patient care, with the chance to develop clinical expertise across a wide range of specialties.
Wye Valley NHS Trust is a member of an NHS Foundation Group with South Warwickshire NHS FT , the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
Located on the border with Wales in the shadow of the Black Mountains, we provide acute and community services across Herefordshire and into parts of Powys and run Hereford County Hospital and the community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.
Worcestershire is our neighbouring county. The post holder will be required to travel between sites.
We are a progressive and forward looking trust with ambitious plans to improve quality and integrate patient pathways through close collaborative working with our partners to deliver the quality of care we'd want for our family and friends.
More than 3,500 people work for the Trust - they tell us it's a great place to work, blending the busyness of a DGH with the benefits of working in a beautiful rural and unspoilt county like Herefordshire.
We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential.
Russell Hardy, Trust Chairman: "The strength of the Trust is its amazing staff; a great place to work, a great place to develop your career and a great place to reach your potential."
Our values - Care, Accountability, Respect and Excellence - are at the heart of all we do. We believe in providing the right care in the right place at the right time…all the time.
Collaborating with Geriatric Medicine, Acute Medicine, and General Medicine, you'll work within a close-knit, multidisciplinary team. You'll also mentor clinical fellows pursuing CESR in General Medicine and take on educational roles such as Foundation trainee supervisor or Royal College Tutor.
We offer a supportive work-life balance, including a 1 in 13 weekend on-call rota with time off in lieu. There's a strong emphasis on professional development with dedicated CPD time, clinical governance, and research opportunities, including recruitment for NIHR and commercial studies.
If you're ready to contribute to improving patient outcomes and embrace diverse clinical challenges, we'd love to hear from you. Candidates should have a CCT or CESR in General (Internal) Medicine and a passion for patient care.
