Applications are invited for Locum Consultant Physicians in Acute Medicine to work across the University Hospital of Wales and University Hospital Llandough sites in Cardiff. This post is for 12 months to cover maternity leave within the Acute Medicine Team.
About the Hospitals
The hospitals, which are some of the largest in the UK, provide a full range of secondary care services to the local population and provide tertiary care facilities for the region and wider afield across Wales.
About the Role
These appointments represent a significant investment by the UHB into transforming Acute Medicine and provides an exciting opportunity for appointees to broaden the existing sub-specialty mix in acute medicine of stroke, diabetes & endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, respiratory medicine, cardiology, pharmacology, and renal medicine. Acute Physicians play a central role in developing and improving pathways as well as clinical outcomes for medical patients in the Unscheduled Care stream and in-patients within the hospital.
Job Plan
Post holders will work a varied job plan which will include clinical sessions in the Emergency Department / Assessment Unit, Same Day Emergency Care Unit, Virtual ward, and Short Stay Units. On-call frequency is currently one evening per month followed by an early morning shift every 17 days followed by one evening session including on-call from home after 10pm after another 17 days. This arrangement may change as acute medical services develop.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There may also be opportunity for sessions in another specialty of choice if desired and suitably trained, further strengthening the close relationship between acute medicine and other medical specialties.
Expectations
It is anticipated that post holders will increasingly drive new ways of working with colleagues in the Emergency Unit, Primary Care, and in-patient specialties.
