Job overview
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed doctor to join the HIV/Sexual Health & Contraception team in Brighton – the first UK fast track city. This is a full-time post for 6 months from August 2024.
This post is based at The Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, part of University Hospitals Sussex. The post holder will be expected to staff Sexual Health & Contraception outpatient clinics, provide medical care to inpatients in The Sussex Beacon, and dependent on experience staff HIV emergency clinics and provide care to HIV inpatients.
