Summary

A Vacancy at Barking Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The diabetes and endocrine service is an active department dedicated to supporting and improving the lives of its patients.

We have ten diabetes and endocrine consultants across our sites, with dedicated diabetes and endocrine specialist nurses. We also have a dedicated podiatry (foot care) service and some dietetic input.

There are dedicated diabetes endocrine wards on each site with daily ward rounds from the consultants. In addition, there is a team of endocrine nurses who provide support for dynamic endocrine tests. There are a number of general diabetes and endocrine clinics across both sites

Locum Consultant Endocronologist

The post holder will be covering up to three clinics per week, depending on need for ward cover which will be general endocrine and diabetes clinics, although there will be room to develop sub-speciality interest in time. There will be an expectation that the post holder will support the in-reach of the speciality into SDEC, providing daily review of patients as needed, inpatient review of diabetes and endocrine issues on other wards will also be included.

The post holder will be expected to attend the monthly endocrine MDT meeting and also be involved in the regular meetings with endocrine specialist nurses to discuss dynamic function tests.

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.

They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.

We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.

We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.

We run a Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

Applications should be made online, however, queries regarding the application process, assistance with completion of the application form or if you require any adjustments (for applicants with a disability) please contact recruitment
