Rheumatology Consultant

Bolton NHS Foundation Trust are looking for a Rheumatology Consultant, based on a 10 PA Job Plan.

This is an exciting opportunity to join and be an integral member of a friendly and supportive multi-disciplinary specialist team(s) working alongside other consultants, nurses, pharmacists and therapists to provide safe, effective and efficient care for patients.

Part time applicants will be considered for these positions. You will support the multi-disciplinary Rheumatology outpatient base at Bolton One Health centre and deliver 4 outpatient clinics each week which will be a mix of new and follow up activity. In addition to your own clinical administration, formal clinical supervision of junior doctors and MDT is expected. You will also provide specialist advice to other medical staff in respect of any in-patient care, GPs, A&E attendance, intermediate care or longer term disease management.

Developing a special interest complementing the existing special interests in the department, this will be negotiable. There is no out of hours on call commitment for Rheumatology with this post.

We are a forward thinking Foundation Trust and are very proud of the way our teams have risen and continue to rise to the challenge of a global pandemic.

We have a truly unique family feel across the Trust and this was reflected in the last national Staff Survey results which showed that our staff feel that Bolton NHS FT is the best place to work in Greater Manchester; we are so proud that they feel this way.
