Are you wanting to feel valued and supported in one of the biggest acute teaching hospitals in the UK, working in a large service committed to professional and personal development with clearly defined career pathways.

• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
