Nottingham - Trust Grade Registrar in Diabetes and Endocrinology (ST4)
A Vacancy at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
NUH is looking to appoint a Trust Grade doctor at ST4 or above level to support our General Medical/Diabetes ward at QMC. The post is offered for January 2025 to August 2025 initially.
You will be based on ward C52 at the QMC campus working closely with consultants, other junior doctors, nursing and therapy staff.
The post holder will also contribute to the ST4+ General Internal Medicine rota at NUH which is cross-campus therefore full MRCP and previous UK NHS experience are essential.
You will also contribute to the specialty ward referral rota alongside our existing registrars. This will involve seeing diabetes and endocrinology referrals from around the hospital and seeing emergency drop-in patients. The ward referrals are discussed with a consultant of the day.
NUH has various specialty and sub-specialty clinics in diabetes endocrinology. You will get the opportunity to attend and see patients in these clinics to broaden your experience of the specialty. It will be a valuable experience for any future applications to diabetes and endocrinology SpR training programmes.
Although this is not a training post, it should be possible for an enthusiastic doctor to map their experiences to many of the core curriculum programme competences as all aspects of the syllabus are relevant to this role.
There are ample opportunities for work based assessments from the supervising consultants. You will also be allocated a Clinical Supervisor.
In addition, there is a weekly diabetes and endocrinology departmental meeting and Junior Doctor teaching which you would be expected to attend and contribute to. Although this is not a training post it should be possible for an enthusiastic doctor to map their experiences to many of the core curriculum programme competences as all aspects of the syllabus are relevant to this attachment.

- To master a number of procedural techniques
