Position Overview & Specifications

Wirral University Teaching Hospital are recruiting to two new, full-time (10 PA) posts in the Diabetes and Endocrinology Department.

These are newly created posts to enable the implementation of an on/off ward cover model.

Post holders will join an enthusiastic team of 4.6WTE Consultants and a 0.8WTE Associate Specialist.

We have recently introduced an Insulin Pump Clinic, and this is an area for key development at the Trust.

We also have subspecialty clinics in Medical Disorders in Pregnancy, Young Person's Diabetes and are the leading provider for Transgender Endocrinology in the region. Our Young Person's Team is currently part of the Seamless Transition Project.

There are also opportunities to expand our links with the Ophthalmology consultants in thyroid eye clinics and to develop any interest in bone endocrinology.

We have very close links with the Walton Joint Pituitary Team and the Liverpool University Hospitals Endocrine Surgical Teams as well as having our own monthly thyroid/parathyroid MDT with WUTH ENT colleagues and monthly radiology MDT.

Ideal candidates would have research experience and help to develop our research capability; however, this is not essential, and we would encourage candidates with a range of subspecialty interests to apply.

Successful candidates would form part of the Internal Medicine on-call rota (1 in 10) and support 13 beds on ward 24 using an on/off ward model.
