Overview

Go back Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

The closing date is 30 September 2025

Main duties of the job

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our nephrology team of Nephrologists as a fixed term post for 5 months

The trust grade doctor will work in three clinical areas; the 19 bed nephrology ward (ward 50), with the renal outreach team providing supervision of patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) on the ICU and medical wards and lastly general medical patients on outlying wards.

Inpatient work includes day to day supervision of the junior medical staff on ward 50, review of referrals prior to discussion with the Consultants and attendance on Consultant ward rounds, renal procedures (insertion of dialysis catheters, native and transplant kidney biopsy). Outpatient clinics are held at Hull Royal Infirmary, with weekly outreach clinics at Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Bridlington and fortnightly Goole clinics. These Clinics are Consultant led. All training needs are met centrally in Hull.

All specialist registrars will have an outpatient commitment and have the opportunity to attend Transplant, Transplant Work-up, Low Clearance, Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis clinics as well as General Nephrology clinics. The details of the rotation are organised after consideration of the training needs of the staff involved. The Consultant working patterns are closely integrated, and a similar level of mutual support and team-working is required from the middle grade staff.
