Job Overview
The Medical Unit, like most other Units in the Trust, works as a single unit and includes general medicine, acute elderly medicine and associated specialities such as haematology, neurology, rheumatology, dermatology, oncology, etc. With the addition of a Medical Investigations Day Unit at Wexham Park Hospital and an extra medical ward on each site, we have established a system of consultant-based wards.
The geographical lay-out of the district and the number of hospital sites require most Consultants to hold out-patient clinics in one or more of the Community Hospitals in addition to the acute sites.
There is a new Postgraduate Centre at Wexham Park Hospital, which offers excellent facilities including lecture theatre, seminar rooms and the John Jamieson Library. This has a full librarian service and on-line research facilities
