As part of a major investment programme, at Ipswich Hospital, agreement has been given for a significant investment to deliver a truly transformative model for management of inpatient medical and older persons care.
We are looking for a full-time Consultant in Acute Medicine to support this ambitious new medical inpatient model who wish to embrace the technological advances recently made in patient care and who will contribute to the evolving vision for the future of our multi-specialty medical team.
Our Enhanced Welcome package includes an additional £20,000 and relocation costs to thank you for choosing to work at our trust and your new journey with ESNEFT.
The Department of Acute Medicine works as a sub-department within the Division of Medicine, Ipswich Site. The 7 current consultants work in our recently refurbished Emergency Assessment Unit (EAU) within a multi-disciplinary team, with access to modern facilities and equipment. The aim of the department is to maintain an efficient and friendly service for our local population. The department strives to promote and develop the full provision of acute services in light of rapidly evolving and changing strategies for emergency care provision.
The post holder will work as a consultant in Acute Medicine and will work closely alongside the Departments of Specialty Medicine, Surgery, and the Department of Diagnostic Imaging to provide a comprehensive assessment process for all medical emergencies. Close liaison with other Departments and with allied health professionals within the EAU department and other consultant colleagues is crucial to our success and good communication skills are essential.
We are at an exciting time at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust as our £150 million development programme takes shape.

At our Ipswich hospital site, we are in the process of building a state-of-the-art Urgent Treatment Centre, co-located with a new Emergency Department which is due to open in Summer ’24. We have a new Acute Medical Same Day Emergency Care unit, co-located with our Medical Emergency Assessment Unit, a recently built Acute Respiratory Care Unit and newly opened Surgical Assessment Unit. We have an award-winning Frailty Assessment Base, linking directly with our virtual ward programme and community teams, including a comprehensive set of admission avoidance services within our integrated primary and secondary care system.
