An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a Locum Consultant Nephrologist at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated colleague to join a dynamic and cohesive team of eleven existing Renal Consultants, one honorary Renal Consultant (who holds a substantive University post), one Consultant in ITU/Renal Medicine, and five Transplant Surgeons.

Main duties of the job

Working for our organisation

Nottingham University Hospitals Trust is a large university teaching hospital serving a local population of 675,000 and has a Renal Transplantation catchment area of 1.79 million.

The emergency department based on the Queens Medical Campus is one of the busiest in Europe.

As a major teaching Trust, NUH enjoys close links with the city's universities and attracts and develops the highest calibre of staff.

It continues to be the hospital of choice for patients, encourages investment and remains at the forefront of research.

Our unit is well organised, caring, and thrives on a strong multidisciplinary culture. It has been at the forefront of many national and international initiatives. There is a strong base and foundation for clinical research. Nottingham is the regional centre for paediatric nephrology.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Consultants contribute to inpatient care, and a City Campus Renal Consult service, on a rotational basis.

Care for transplant patients is provided jointly with the transplant surgeons and includes a joint senior medical / surgical ward round, seven days per week.

The Renal Consultants also provide, on a rotational basis, outreach services to Queens Medical Centre Nottingham and Kings Mill Hospital, Mansfield.

All Renal Consultants have their own nephrology clinic and provide their patients' outpatient care until they reach established renal failure.

Clinic appointments for low clearance patients alternate between medics & Renal Specialist Nurses.

Interviews are expected to be held at the end of February 2023.
