Description
Consultant in Acute and General Medicine

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The James Cook University Hospital


This new 10PA post arises from an exciting investment in the transformation of Acute service at The James Cook University Hospital.

The service includes 2 Admission units, a short stay ward, general medical ward and SDEC. Consideration will be given to suitable applicants that wish to work with reduced commitments.

  • Maintain the highest clinical standards in the practice of Acute Medicine
  • Our hospital is one of the few hospitals in UK where acute unselected take are run by acute medical team only
  • Provide clinical and educational supervision and management of junior medical staff
  • Be actively involved in the management of the department including attendance at the monthly Consultant and Directorate meetings, Audit Meetings and Consultant Away Days.
  • Take part in annual appraisals (mandatory for all Consultants), carried out by the Clinical Director. Appropriate time and assistance will be provided for preparation.
  • Active involvement in audit including at least one project annually


  • Involvement in research

  • This is a research
- active unit and joint research projects are undertaken with both the University of Teesside (University of the Year 2009) and Durham University.


Since the autumn of 2019, we've been empowering our clinicians to take the decisions about how we manage our resources and deliver care across our hospitals and services - supported by our amazing scientific teams, administrative, support staff and volunteers.

This is important - not just for our local communities in Teesside and North Yorkshire but for patients across the North East and beyond who rely on us as a specialist centre and regional major trauma centre.


By enabling clinicians to come together to shape and deliver the care they want for their patients, we were rated by our colleagues in the 2020 NHS Staff Survey as the most improved Trust in the country.

This clinically-led approach has been at the heart of our response to COVID-19 and the overriding goal set by our experienced clinicians to help keep colleagues, patients and service users safe.


We are an anchor tertiary provider - delivering world-class cancer, cardiothoracic, spinal, cochlear implant, neurosciences, gynaecology and urology care for patients across the region - and one of only three hospital trusts in the UK operating three robotic surgical systems.

Our major trauma centre sees half of all trauma cases in the North East and Cumbria.

Our role as an anchor tertiary provider is also crucial in ensuring that specialist care is available to patients across our region and that health inequalities are not exacerbated in our local patient populations.
