Palliative Care Doctor

This is an excellent opportunity for a doctor with the appropriate qualifications and experience to further develop their career in palliative medicine within a supportive, multidisciplinary hospice environment.

You will work alongside experienced palliative care doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals to deliver holistic, person-centred care to patients living with life-limiting illness, and to support their families and carers.

Key Responsibilities

·       Provide high-quality medical care to patients admitted to the inpatient unit

·       Participate fully in the medical on-call and weekend rota supporting the 24-hour service

·       Work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team to deliver holistic palliative and end-of-life care

·       Contribute to clinical governance, audit, and quality improvement activity

·       Participate in teaching and education programmes, including clinical supervision and formal teaching

·       Support junior colleagues and contribute to a culture of learning and continuous improvement

The main duties are similar regardless of previous experience. Doctors with less experience in palliative medicine will receive appropriate supervision and support to undertake all aspects of the role safely and confidently. Ongoing professional development and education will be actively supported.
