Consultant in Internal Medicine and Cardiology

We are delighted to advertise an exciting opportunity in the newly formed department of General Internal Medicine at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. We are looking for highly motivated individuals to work in a combined role with any group 1 specialty, building a collaborative team of Consultants who will deliver a high-quality internal medicine service, alongside specialty interests in a flexible working pattern. Each post is 1.0 WTE, with 0.5 WTE GIM and 0.5 WTE in specialty. For their GIM responsibilities, the post holders will be responsible for inpatient care on ward 513 as the newly formed internal medicine ward, with a one in 6 pattern, including weekends. The remaining 5 weeks are flexible in working pattern and focus predominately on specialty work, with a small component of GIM activity including a weekly MDT, educational activities, monthly governance and SPA time. There is no evening or overnight on call attached to these posts, and we welcome applications from those who would like to work flexibly on non-ward weeks. Posts can be combined with any group 1 specialty post and are therefore open to those with a dual accreditation, either CCT or via the Portfolio Pathway. We welcome applications from anyone with an interest in a combined post, who should approach the specialty clinical service lead to discuss opportunities to link specialty work high quality internal medicine care in a flexible and supportive working environment.
