Trust Doctor STin Renal Medicine

Overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our nephrology team as soon as possible until 1 September 2026 in a 50% WTE role working at the level of a first year renal specialty trainee (ST4+). You will work alongside a team of renal consultants, FY1-ST7 resident doctors and specialist nurses.

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust provides extensive kidney services for a population of 1.10 million across East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. Acute kidney services are provided centrally in Hull, with weekly outreach clinics and chronic satellite haemodialysis support to Grimsby and Scunthorpe, with fortnightly clinics in Goole, weekly clinics in Bridlington with support to the Bridlington Satellite unit. Inpatient haemodialysis for long-term patients is facilitated at Castle Hill Hospital.

The locally employed doctor will only be expected to work at the Hull Royal Infirmary site.

HUTH NHS Trust provides care for patients both pre and post transplantation. Although the actual transplant episode is carried out in Leeds, the pre-transplant work-up and all post-transplant aftercare at discharge from Leeds is carried out in Hull and its satellite clinics.

The successful candidate will work at the equivalent of ST4 or above, supervised by a qualified NHS consultant. The work plan will be tailored to suit the trainee's educational objectives. The locally employed doctor will work in the following clinical areas: the 19 bed nephrology ward (ward 50); the renal outreach team providing supervision of patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) on the ICU and general medical patients on outlying wards;

and outpatient clinics. Procedural duties will include dialysis line insertion and renal biopsies, and full training in these procedures will be given.

All specialist registrars will have an outpatient commitment and have the opportunity to attend Transplant, Transplant Work-up, Low Clearance, Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis clinics as well as General Nephrology clinics. The Consultant working patterns are closely integrated, and a similar level of mutual support and team-working is required from the middle grade staff. You will be part of the on-call medical registrar rota (full shift rota) covering the Acute Assessment Unit, extending into the Emergency Department and covering the Same Day Emergency Care Unit.

The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.

Scunthorpe General Hospital;
Goole and District Hospital;
Hull Royal Infirmary;
Castle Hill Hospital. As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we lead and contribute to research in biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.

We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
