WVT invites passionate and motivated Consultants to join our newly established Department of General (Internal) Medicine. As we address the healthcare needs of our community, especially elderly patients and those with complex multi-morbidities, we seek skilled professionals to be part of this exciting journey.
In this diverse role, you'll diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions, from acutely ill younger patients to elderly individuals with complex needs. You'll provide continuous care in both hospital and outpatient settings for patients who don't fit into a single specialty. Collaborating with Geriatric Medicine, Acute Medicine, and General Medicine, you'll work within a close-knit, multidisciplinary team. You'll also mentor clinical fellows pursuing CESR in General Medicine and take on educational roles such as Foundation trainee supervisor or Royal College Tutor.
We offer a supportive work-life balance, including a 1 in 13 weekend on-call rota with time off in lieu. There's a strong emphasis on professional development with dedicated CPD time, clinical governance, and research opportunities, including recruitment for NIHR and commercial studies. If you're ready to contribute to improving patient outcomes and embrace diverse clinical challenges, we'd love to hear from you.
Main duties of the job:
- Diagnosing and treating a broad spectrum of clinical conditions.
- Managing patients who do not fit within a single specialty, providing continued care in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
- Working within a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care across Redbrook Ward (24 beds), Arrow Ward (8 beds), and surgical wards as needed for medical outliers.
- Overseeing complex cases and ensuring that patients receive the right specialist care at the right time.
- Helping shape the department's training structure, participating in weekly ward huddles, mortality and morbidity meetings, and supporting the professional development of clinical fellows.
- Taking on educational roles, such as supervising Foundation trainees and acting as a Royal College Tutor.
- Participating in the weekend on-call rota (1 in 13) and involvement in clinical governance, audits, and CPD.
This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a growing department and make a real impact in patient care, with the chance to develop clinical expertise across a wide range of specialties.

We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential. Our values - Care, Accountability, Respect and Excellence - are at the heart of all we do. We believe in providing the right care in the right place at the right time...all the time.
