GPs and other hospitals, to ensure continuous care for each patient
▪ Undertake non-emergency work during premium time as required

With a new Medical School at the centre of our community, a focus on research, clinical leadership and making our trust a rewarding and friendly place to work, there’s never been a better time to join us.
