The successful candidate will join 7 Consultant Diabetes/Endocrinologists who work across WTWA. We are well supported by middle grade doctors including specialist trainees and specialty doctors. The diabetes/endocrinology aspect of this post will be primarily based at Wythenshawe, Withington, and Trafford with the option of clinics at Altrincham based on the successful candidate's preferences and the needs of the service. The Diabetes and Endocrinology service provides the full spectrum of secondary and tertiary services.
We are keen to attract candidates interested in innovative ways to move the specialist services forward and also keen to recruit a colleague who will contribute to the wider hospital, including but not limited to supporting management and training (both undergraduate and postgraduate) activities. There are regular multidisciplinary team meetings.

This is a full-time 10 PA post. Offers of less than full-time work or job shares would also be considered.
The multidisciplinary team includes specialist nurses, psychologists, and specialist podiatry.
Apart from the outpatient activity, the successful candidate would spend over a third of their weekday job plan delivering consultant-led care on a newly developed Medical Specialties Ward. This is a 23-bedded ward caring for patients with a variety of presenting conditions. They will manage the patients with 2 other consultants with specialist interests in other disciplines, i.e., renal. It is expected they provide teaching and supervision to the juniors on the ward and lead on service delivery, improvement, and relevant QIP.
