Summary
A Vacancy at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
There is an exciting opportunity for a full time Consultant in Rheumatology and General Internal Medicine to join the existing team working across WTWA Hospitals.
The successful candidate will join 8 Consultant Rheumatologists who work across the WTWA. We are well supported by middle grade doctors including specialist trainees, specialty doctors (3 posts), an internal medicine trainee and a general practice trainee.
This rheumatology aspect of this post will be primarily based at Wythenshawe and Withington hospitals with the options of clinics at Altrincham or Trafford subject to the successful applicants’ preferences and the needs of the service. The WTWA rheumatology service provides the full spectrum of secondary care rheumatology and some tertiary rheumatology services. We have established early inflammatory arthritis and a giant cell arteritis pathways.
We are keen to attract candidates interested in service development such as the establishment of specialist clinics and will support this in post. We are also keen to recruit a colleague who will contribute to the wider hospital including but not limited to supporting management and training (both undergraduate and postgraduate) activities. Regular multidisciplinary meetings include a team meeting for CPD, radiology meeting, biologics meeting and radiology/respiratory meeting.
This appointment will be made in accordance with the 2003 Consultant Contract Terms and Conditions. The Job Description indicates the main duties of the post, which may be reviewed in the light of experience and developments within service. Any review will be undertaken in conjunction with the post holder.
This is a full time 10PA post. Offers of less than than full time work or job shares would also be considered.
The multidisciplinary team includes an Advanced Practitioner, 10 specialist nurses, two specialist pharmacists, two specialist physiotherapy advanced practitioners, a specialist podiatrist and a specialist occupational therapist.
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest rheumatology providers in the UK. The Trust is commissioned by NHS England under the specialised rheumatology framework. Currently, the rheumatology service is organized into two divisions: Central Manchester (Manchester Royal Infirmary) and Wythenshawe, Trafford, Withington and Altrincham (WTWA) divisions. The rheumatology service at North Manchester General Hospital will join the central Manchester division later this year.
MFT is England’s largest NHS Trust with a turnover of £2.5bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our brand-new Electronic Patient Record system which we’ve launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our new Green Plan which will set out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
To find out more about the key responsibilities and the specific skills and experience you’ll need, take a look at the Job Description & Person Specification attachments under the ‘Supporting Documents’ heading. So that you’re even more equipped to make an informed decision to apply to us, you’ll need to take time to read the ‘Candidate Essentials Guide’ that sits with the Job Description and Person Specification.
