Peel Recruitment and Training Solutions is currently working with a client to recruit for a SHO in Acute Medicine position within the UK.
An opportunity has arisen for the recruitment of doctors to work within the Acute Care Division. These posts will supplement the Trust Grade rota and would be a part of a rotation between Medicine Specialities.
The posts will attract an out of hours supplement for providing a 1:7 on call cover within the Acute Medical roster, Weekdays 17:00 – 22:00 and 1:7 weekends, 09:00 – 21:30. Hence a successful candidate will not only support daily ward rounds but will have an opportunity to gain experience in the management of admissions of acutely unwell adults.
