An opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and enthusiastic individual to further develop and maintain our high quality local service.

The diabetes and endocrine service allows adequate exposure to subspecialist interests whilst also providing exposure to general medicine.

The general medicine cover is split between consultant colleagues and involves ward rounds of 14 in-patients on our dedicated ward.

Education and support of junior medical colleagues is important.

Occasionally, the appointee may be required to work in outpatient clinics located either at St Margaret's Hospital, Epping or Herts & Essex Hospital, Bishops Stortford.

The new consultant will undertake outpatient workload, provide inpatient care on our dedicated ward and will continue to review and develop the service to meet the requirements of the local population.

The trust maintains close links with our tertiary referral centres.

Our patients are well supported by partners including Addenbrook's Hospital, Cambridge, University College London Hospital, King's College Hospital, Queens's Hospital, Romford and Queen's Square Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
