The post is based in the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust Rheumatology department. The Rheumatology department covers all 3 sites including Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester General Hospital and Glenfield hospital, as well as multiple community clinics. Our department has a multidisciplinary approach to the management of rheumatic diseases and is renowned for delivering high quality patient care. We work closely and collaboratively with other specialties such as Renal Medicine, Respiratory Medicine, Cardiology, Neurology and Radiology. This is a locum (parental leave cover) full-time post for 12 months. The post is suitable for newly qualified consultants or more experienced ones, and it is an exciting opportunity to join a Rheumatology department recognised for its exceptional care and multidisciplinary approach.

PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY.

The successful candidate will deliver a broad range of Rheumatology services including outpatient general rheumatology clinics, outpatient specialist clinics, inpatient Rheumatology reviews on a ward round rota and participation in multidisciplinary team meetings. The department provides training for specialist trainees and has a history of collaborating in translational and bench research through close working relationships with the University of Leicester and NIHR. The successful candidate will work with medical, nursing and managerial colleagues to ensure clinical efficiency, quality of outcomes, financial management and operational efficiency. They will be supported to maintain up-to-date portfolios for annual appraisal, CPD and revalidation.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
  
  

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
  
  

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
