Post Overview

We are looking to recruit a Specialty Doctor in Stroke Medicine.

It includes 1 Supporting Programmed Activity per week to focus on your own development.

As a Trust we have a proven track record in supporting doctors to complete their CESR and then go on to take a Consultant post with the Trust, so this could be your ideal next step.
