Locum Consultant Diabetes & Endocrine | Royal NHS Foundation Trust

Overview

We are looking for a 6 month Locum Consultant to cover a vacancy within the Diabetes/Endocrine Department. This is a locum post created to cover the maternity leave of one of the consultants. The post is for 10 Programmed Activities.

Following the implementation of the Barnet, Enfield and Haringey clinical strategy, the department has seen expansion in workload. We are seeking a highly motivated consultant to provide excellent acute care and develop new service pathways for this cohort of patients.

• Each diabetes/endocrinology consultant will be in charge of in-patients on a ward-based system (22 bedded ward and allocated outliers) for 2 weeks out of every 8 weeks (1:4 rota, shared with 3 other consultants).
• During ward periods, the consultant is expected to perform three full ward rounds per week and daily review of new patients transferred to the ward and those needing senior review.
• The consultant in charge of the wards is expected to participate in daily board rounds and facilitate timely discharge of patients.
• The balance of 6 weeks out of 8 is on the non-wards rota; the acute medical workload may overlap and will require clinic cancellations to reflect the same.

North Mid is part of the North Central London integrated care system – consisting of the NHS and Local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICSs, we work closely with partners and many financial and performance objectives are measured at the system level. Organisations remain standalone statutory bodies, with an ICS infrastructure for shared decision-making.

We are a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George’s University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
