Job summary
Applications are invited for the position of Junior Clinical Fellow (previously known as Trust Doctor, SHO/FY2+ grade) in Acute Medicine, at the North Middlesex University Hospital, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust in North Central London (NCL).

About us
ABOUT THE HOSPITAL:
North Middlesex Hospital, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is a medium-sized District General Hospital based in Edmonton in Enfield, North London. We serve a diverse multicultural population largely from the London boroughs of Enfield and Haringey. Many of our patients live in wards that are within the 5% most deprived in the UK and a large proportion of our patients were born abroad. This makes it both a fascinating and a challenging hospital to work in.
Over the last decade we have rebuilt most of the hospital and now have facilities that we are proud to work in. We employ over 3,500 staff, more than half of whom live locally. We encourage apprenticeships from the local community and work closely with our local Health Watch.
We are primarily an acute hospital with more than 90% of our bed days being used for patients admitted via our emergency and SDEC units. As well as offering everything you would expect from a major acute hospital, we have a number of tertiary services treating patients with HIV and Sickle Cell Disease and a large cancer and radiotherapy service. We also run our local community Sexual Health Clinics.
We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George's University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
