Summary
A Vacancy at The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
We are delighted to be able to offer an opportunity for a highly motivated, ambitious individual to join our well integrated team.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled resident doctor at ST1-2 level to support our existing clinical team in the delivery of clinical care to our inpatients. Our ward is a true General Medicine and Clinical Pharmacology ward providing exposure to a broad range of clinical presentations and diagnoses. The post will suit a resident at ST1-2 looking to increase their clinical experience, build leadership and management skills, experience safety and governance work in the NHS. There are teaching, research and audit opportunities along with the possibility of experiencing some specialist clinical pharmacology clinical presentations.
Candidates must possess full GMC registration with a license to practice at time of application and previous paid NHS experience is required. We typically receive several hundred applications for ST1/2 locally employed doctor posts and we will therefore only shortlist candidates with paid NHS experience (this does not include Clinical Access or Clinical Observership placements) which is an essential criteria within the Person Specification. Please do not apply if you do not have paid NHS experience as this leads to significant clinician time reviewing applications from applicants who will not be shortlisted.

Our team includes 3 resident doctors at training grades lower than ST1, 3 ST3+ residents and 4 consultants, plus physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing and administrative support.
