Locum Consultant - Nephrology

We are looking to appoint a Locum Consultant Physician in Nephrology & General Medicine. The ideal candidate should have an interest in all aspects of nephrology care and will encompass a combined renal service with Walsall Together, with a requisite to partake in acute medical cover, renal inpatient cover, and the teaching and supervision of junior medical staff.

We are looking for a candidate who can work collaboratively with GPs, Palliative Care, and the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust Hospital renal service.

The post is for 10.25 Programmed Activities per week, which include participation in the GIM on call rota.

Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust renal service is linked to Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust Hospital, Wolverhampton. There are 7 outpatient nephrology clinics at the Manor Hospital with medical input from visiting Nephrologists and renal specialist nurses from Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, who attend 2 clinics each week.

The inpatient Renal service is provided by our Consultant Nephrologists Dr Riaz Bavakunji, Dr Thahir Abdul Samad, and Dr Huda Mahmoud. A satellite haemodialysis unit in Walsall, run by Diaverum, Green Lane, and Walsall, is not a requirement for the post holder to support.

Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust is an integrated Trust and the only provider of NHS acute care in Walsall, serving a population of 284,300. It provides inpatient and outpatient services at the Manor Hospital and a wide range of services in the community. The £170 million development was completed in 2010, and the continued upgrading of existing areas ensures the Trust now has a state‑of‑the‑art Critical Care Unit, Neonatal Unit, Obstetric Theatre, and Integrated Assessment Unit facilities.

A new Urgent Emergency Care Centre was opened in March 2023. The two‑storey development has significantly improved emergency care facilities and capacity and has provided almost 5,000 square metres of additional clinical space.
