Rheumatology Consultant

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Consultant Rheumatologist to join our well-established and forward thinking Rheumatology team at Bolton NHS FT, following the retirement of a long-serving colleague.

This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a supportive multidisciplinary team committed to delivering high-quality care, patient- centred care across a diverse population. The successful candidate will play a key role in the continued development of rheumatology services and will contribute to innovative models of care, education and service improvement.

The post holder will support the multidisciplinary Rheumatology outpatient service based at Bolton One Health Centre, delivering four outpatient clinics per week comprising a mix of new and follow-up patients. In addition to managing your own clinical workload and associated administrative duties, you will be expected to provide formal clinical supervision to junior doctors and members of the wider multidisciplinary team. The role includes providing specialist rheumatology advice to medical colleagues across a range of care settings, including inpatient services, General Practice, Accident & Emergency, intermediate care, and long-term disease management. There will be the opportunity to develop a special interest that complements the existing expertise within the department, which can be agreed in line with service requirements and your professional interests. This post does not include any out-of-hours or on-call commitment.
