We have been assigned by one of the UK's more prestigious NHS Trusts to help them recruit a Consultant Acute Physician on either a Substantive or an NHS Fixed Term basis for 12 months to join their successful Medicine department.
Our client is a multi-site acute and community Trust based on the outskirts of London, serving a population of more than 336,000 across the area.

Annually, 90,000 patients are admitted for treatment, around 75,000 patients attend our Emergency Department, and we deliver around 3,000 babies each year.
