Consultant in Community & Complex Type 2 Diabetes & Weight Management

This is an opportunity to join the Diabetes Service in Gloucestershire to play a pivotal role in shaping how Diabetes and Obesity care is delivered. Gloucestershire's Integrated Care System (ICS) is on an exciting journey to deliver more place-based, joined-up care for our population, as per the "NHS Ten Year Plan". We're proud to be a progressive, supportive health system with strong partnerships across acute, community, and primary care. The aim is for integrated diabetes care across all settings and the successful applicant will play an important role in the delivery of this model of working. In Gloucestershire, we are working as a healthcare community to improve the identification and management of diabetes and obesity, tackle health inequalities, and support the wellbeing of the local population. By 2029, we are committed to closing the gap in morbidity and mortality between the most and least deprived areas, while also reducing demand on acute services through strengthened, community-based care. This is the development of an established role within our system, working as part of the acute trust team based in the community. This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated clinician focused on treating type 2 diabetes and obesity to help shape and further develop our model for diabetes services in the county. If you are passionate about integrated, equitable care and want to be part of a system that values innovation and collaboration, we'd love to hear from you.
