About the role

At Wexham Park Hospital, our Acute Medicine service is entering an exciting new phase of growth and development. Guided by our new Clinical Strategy, we are reshaping how we deliver acute and urgent care, creating more responsive pathways, strengthening our Acute Medical Unit (AMU) and Medical SDEC, and expanding consultant leadership across the front door. We would be delighted to welcome a new Consultant in Acute Medicine to join our supportive and forward-thinking team of Acute Physicians - a group that values collaboration and takes pride in caring for both our patients and each other. Our 74-bedded AMU and dynamic Medical SDEC provide a strong foundation for high-quality care, and together we are committed to building on this success. We are now looking for committed Acute Physicians to join us, bringing ideas and leadership as we continue to develop and expand our service.

The expansion will allow a restructure of the current working pattern below and therefore is subject to change, but the current roles and PA allocation is noted below.

The appointees will be provided with office space and excellent secretarial support.
