Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Rheumatology team within the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. We are seeking a clinician with imagination, drive and commitment to work in Morecambe Bay. You will be required to have appropriate experience in rheumatology and hold or be within 6 months of obtaining certification from the General Medical Council (CCT).
You will be expected to:
1. Provide specialist out-patient opinion and case management;
2. Contribute to the ongoing development of rheumatology services for the local population across the Bay;
3. Participate in training and educational activities, administrative tasks, teaching, continuing medical education, and audit activities while maintaining clinical excellence within the service.
Main duties of the job
This is a great opportunity to be part of the Rheumatology Department who are seeking a replacement Consultant Rheumatologist to join a team of 5 consultants, 4 specialist registrars, 3 GPSI’s, specialist nursing staff, and a fully functional wider MDT, supported by input from all associated specialties.
This is a replacement post, and we are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and forward-looking rheumatologist. There is the option for a split GIM role and Rheumatology role. The post is for a full-time contract (10 PAs), but the option to work flexibly (less than full time) exists if it is the candidate’s preference.

We operate from three main hospitals - Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community health care premises.
FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units, and various Consultant-led services.
WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre.
All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case, and inpatient surgery.
