The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) is recruiting a consultant with a passion for caring for patients with renal disease and general internal medicine.
This is a Substantive Consultant post in the Renal Medicine department
The nephrology service covers a population of just over 850,000. The hub of the service is at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital with one satellite unit at Cromer Hospital in North Norfolk and very close links with the James Paget Hospital (JPH) and its satellite dialysis unit in Gorleston.
The acute nephrology service has in-patient beds based on the dedicated renal ward: Langley. Acute dialysis can be provided 24 hours per day on the ward, and we also deliver non-haematological plasma exchange. Percutaneous renal biopsies (both native and transplant) and insertion of temporary and tunneled dialysis lines are also performed on Langley ward. The hospital has a large intensive care unit (with provision for haemofiltration) and high dependency unit, which is currently undergoing expansion, as well as excellent support services.
We manage the largest purpose-built offsite dialysis unit in the United Kingdom – Norfolk and Norwich Kidney Center (NNKC) which is approximately 2 miles away from the hospital. We serve approximately 180 in-center haemodialysis patients at the NNKC.
Norwich is a great place to live. The city supports a wide variety of cultural activities. The North Norfolk coast is on the doorstep as is the Norfolk Broads National Park. The city also has some excellent schools and a thriving university. The city is only 2 hours from the center of London.
The Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH) is one of the busiest teaching trusts in England. We serve over 900,000 people across Norfolk, North Suffolk and surrounding areas for specialist services.
• The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital is located on the Norwich Research Park and serves the population of Norfolk and Norfolk Suffolk and further afield for specialist services. It opened in 2001 and is a 1,200 bed teaching hospital with state-of-the-art facilities. We provide a wide range of secondary and tertiary services, including Accident and Emergency.
