Both Guys and St Thomas' have central London locations with stunning views across the Thames and are close to many tourist attractions, such as the Houses of Parliament and the South Bank Arts Complex. Both sites have easy access to major transport links.
We are recruiting to these 12 month OOPTE in Clinical Toxicology and Emergency Medicine that will be based at St Thomas' Hospital and will start from August 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter; we would also consider a deferred start in February 2026.

Main duties of the job
Clinical Toxicology: You will have the opportunity to undertake specialist training in Clinical Toxicology, with training in both inpatient and outpatient management of poisoned patients. You will have the opportunity to undertake clinical toxicology research in an area of interest of the department (e.g. recreational drug toxicity, deliberate self-poisoning) during the OOPTE; it would be expected that this would lead to submission of paper(s) for publication. You will have the opportunity to help deliver Clinical Toxicology education as part of the portfolio of the clinical toxicology department.
Emergency Medicine: You will participate in a middle grade rota working with other senior ED trainees and supervising junior middle grades, FY2s and ENPs.
