Job overview
Senior Acute Medicine Trust Grade Registrar
Are you considering specialty training but feel you need more experience in acute unselected medicine at registrar level?
Have you finished your CT2 post but aren’t sure what specialty may suit you best and would like the chance to improve your CV and explore your options?
Are you an IMT doctor who is already working at registrar level in a smaller trust but wants to gain experience in one of the biggest and busiest Acute Medicine departments in the country?
Do you want to be a medical registrar but feel nervous about the step up?
We have developed Senior Acute Medicine Trust Grade Registrar posts which offer unrivalled support for those doctors looking to transition from SHO level to become a medical registrar and for established registrars wishing to develop their clinical and leadership skills, perhaps in anticipation of gaining a training number or embarking on a CESR programme. We can offer you an exceptional experience in all areas of acute medicine, working in a friendly and supportive team.
To be eligible to apply, you will need GMC registration, MRCP and substantive experience at minimum CT level or equivalent.
