You will rotate across all these areas, independently hold registrar‑led outpatient clinics supervised by a consultant, and work approximately 1 in 3 weekends.

Opportunities exist to take part in audit, quality improvement projects, present at departmental teaching and the Hospital Grand Round, and teach medical students. You will be allocated an Educational Supervisor (ES) to mentor and guide you in this post.
