Consultant in Acute Medicine
The Acute Medicine department is looking to appoint enthusiastic, highly motivated, and dynamic consultant colleagues to join our team in Acute Medicine at North Manchester Hospital. The consultants in our current team have varied sub-specialty interests including rheumatology, infectious diseases, respiratory, gastroenterology, and emergency medicine.
We are supported by a large multidisciplinary team of junior trainees, clinical fellows, ACPs, and a dedicated physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and NMP pharmacy team for our unit. We have an excellent record of developing and retaining senior nursing colleagues for our unit.
This is an exciting time to join North Manchester General Hospital. A once-in-a-generation opportunity will see our hospital rebuilt and the creation of a health hub within our grounds. This creates a rare opportunity to become involved with these changes and part of the new future of the site. We are part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, which unites multiple hospitals and providers of community services.
MFT delivers care to approximately 750,000 people across 10 hospital sites. We are changing the way care is delivered to address health inequalities in our region. We are proud of our history, serving North Manchester communities since 1876. One of the first things you will realise when you join us is the community feel and the supportive and nurturing culture.
We are constantly developing the acute medical unit and expanding consultant support to ensure consultant-delivered care is available 7 days a week. North Manchester has successfully achieved and demonstrated an appetite for service development. We welcome imaginative and innovative ways of addressing the demands in acute medical care. The post will include weekend daytime sessions 1:8. The posts are based at North Manchester General Hospital and provide senior medical support to our 53 Medical Assessment Units bed split across 2 wards and our Ambulatory Care Unit.
