If the right applicant has a concurrent specialty CCT, we could discuss the option of some potential clinic/procedural time depending on specialty and service cover, this would be subject to negotiation. ### Main duties of the job We are looking to expand our medical workforce within the medical teams to cover our general medical wards and a variable number of medical outliers in other zones as the need arises over winter with 2 consultants.

The right applicant would need to provide good clinical supervision and support of a team of resident doctors, but not formal educational supervision. As part of the transformation of Whipps Cross Hospital there is an ongoing review of the medical bed base within the hospital.
