Description

**POST: LOCUM CONSULTANT IN SHORT STAY ACUTE MEDICINE

BASE:
QUEEN ELIZABETH UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Applications are invited for a Locum Consultant post which will be based at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH).

The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is a new purpose built hospital that opened its doors in May 2015.

The hospital has 1109 beds and provides medical care to a population of around 700,000 people in west and south Glasgow.

The hospital provides the full range of medical and surgical services and many tertiary specialties including neurology, ENT and renal medicine.

Development of the new QEUH has allowed inpatient and acute medical care from the Western Infirmary, Victoria Hospital and Southern General to be consolidated to a single site.

The presence of all the major specialities and the opportunities that this provides makes the QEUH an exciting and stimulating environment in which to work.

As examples, Respiratory Medicine hosts cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension tertiary care teams, Gastroenterology has inflammatory bowel disease and hepatology subspecialty teams, the Infectious Diseases unit is a regional service for tropical diseases and has a major HIV service, Rheumatology has a Professorial Unit with major interests in inflammatory arthritidies and connective tissue disease, and the diabetes and endocrine unit provide all aspects of subspecialty care in diabetes, as well as providing regional genetics, cancer and neurosurgical endocrine services.

The QEUH also has one of largest critical care areas in the UK, with CCU, ITU and medical HDU areas.

There will also be a contribution to the continuing care of general medicine patients totally 3 PAs including appropriate time for administrative tasks.

This will involve providing input to the medical boarders team, which is principally responsible for the care of patients located within surgical wards.

Teaching

Undergraduates attend throughout their training. In the QEUH there is a commitment both to supervise students in clinics and bed-side teaching. There is postgraduate teaching for junior staff in the directorate and a weekly Grand Round.

Research

There are audit and research opportunities including the possibility of establishing research links with colleagues in the University of Glasgow_.
