Trust Grade SpR in General Medicine, Diabetes & Endocrinology

NHS Medical & Dental: Trust registrar

Croydon is a busy, exciting and diverse place to work. The borough has one of the youngest populations in London and continues to grow.

Croydon Health Services cares for local people at Croydon University Hospital, Purley Memorial Hospital and in clinics and people’s homes all across the borough.

We are a very close-knit and friendly organisation where everyone of our 3600 members of staff is valued. We strongly believe that our employees are our greatest asset and so through Listening into Action – our way of engaging staff - we empower everyone at any level to initiate and bring about real improvements in our care.

Join us and be a part of the team that is making Croydon proud.  #choosecroydon

Job overview

This post will run parallel to our current SPR grade role, and will offer identical opportunities to take part in consultant supervised training relating to both the general medical and diabetes/endocrinology curriculum. It would ideally suit a candidate looking to progress into the speciality at SPR level who wishes to gain more experience in it.

The successful candidate would undertake two clinics per week (one in diabetes and another in endocrinology) with the chance to participate in sub-speciality work as listed above, together with helping support speciality based in-reach work, and providing on-going support to other team members on our general medical ward. In addition, they would be encouraged to attend sub-speciality clinics, and to support local research/audit initiatives. At present, the post-holder will not be expected to participate in general medical acute on-call services - however, should the successful applicant wish to be part of our current 18 man medical SPR rota for such on-calls, it will be possible to arrange this, with appropriate remuneration.

Main duties of the job

· Work closely with registrar grade colleagues to support the Diabetes & Endocrine service in providing high quality care in both inpatient and outpatient settings

· Help support the Diabetes Specialist Nursing team within the acute Trust in providing help and support to inpatients with diabetes related problems.

· Carry out outpatient clinics as listed above with consultant supervision

· Participation in and leadership of ward based MDT, including review, assessment and treatment of acute medical inpatients, including onward speciality referral as appropriate.

Working for our organisation

Croydon Health Services NHS Trust provide hospital and community services from a number of community and specialist clinics throughout Croydon. The Trust was formed on 1st August 2010 through the integration of Croydon Community Health Services and Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust. Around 4,100 staff provide services for a population of over 360,000 people who are relatively young with a high level of ethnic diversity. 

Our main hospital site, Croydon University Hospital is one of the busiest in London. We’re also leading the way in providing more healthcare outside hospitals at clinics, specialist centres and in people’s homes. Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon and our Children’s Hospital at Home cares for children with long-term conditions without them having to come to hospital. 

Across the NHS everyone is working hard to meet growing demand and we’re no exception. But with the right people on board, we are rising to this challenge, putting our people in the driving seat, encouraging innovation and transforming our services to give local people the quality of care they deserve. Croydon Health Services puts a great deal of importance on education and training throughout the careers of all of our staff. As well as offering access to a range of core skills training and professional development.
