Keen to gain more experience in Medicine with a friendly team that is interested in your development as a doctor before deciding on your next career move/specialist training?

They will discuss treatment escalation plans and discharge plans with patients and their families, where necessary in consultation with the overseeing consultant.
In between consultant ward rounds there is no senior decision maker on site; the post holder must be confident to manage common medical emergencies and when needed will obtain senior medical support via telephone.
