Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is seeking a Locum Consultant Physician or GP with a special interest in General and Acute Medicine for a full-time position in Hengoed, though part-time options with flexible sessions are also available to promote work-life balance. The successful candidate will play a vital role in the Same-Day Emergency Care (SDEC) team, providing leadership and expert guidance to improve clinical practices and patient outcomes. This position includes responsibilities such as supporting SDEC service development, offering senior clinical advice, conducting training for staff, and participating in service evaluation.

The ideal candidate will have a background or strong interest in acute general medicine and should hold full registration and a license to practice with the GMC or GP Register. The role encompasses working in the Acute Medicine Service within the Borough of Caerphilly, specifically at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr hospital, with a commitment to delivering high-quality urgent care and enhancing care pathways without the need for patient admission.

Do you have a background or interest in acute general medicine? You may currently work in General Practice but would love to have more time with your patients with access to same-day investigations and urgent specialist follow up?

The post holder will be working at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr local general hospital and their job plan will be agreed jointly to meet their needs as well as those of the service.
