Resident Medical Officer

Resident Doctor

FROM £42,012 PER ANNUM

Opportunities available throughout the UK

The surgical Resident Doctor plays a crucial role within the Independent Healthcare Sector.

With consultants working as Independent Practitioners, the hospital is dependent upon the presence of the Resident Doctor to provide continuous qualified patient care.

Resident Doctors will typically work primarily with the surgical inpatients, conducting ward rounds and ensuring that all patients are well looked after. Any changes in a patient’s condition are discussed with the consultant and appropriate further treatment agreed.

The Resident Doctor is the designated resuscitation team leader in the event of a cardiac arrest, and for this reason all doctors are required to obtain and maintain their adult and paediatric resuscitation certificates. In addition to this, NES runs annual refresher courses and the hospitals conduct regular scenarios.

The minimum requirement for the position is 2 years’ post-registration experience, which will include a mixture of medicine and surgery in addition to holding a Primary Medical Qualification and full registration with the GMC. Many hospitals admit paediatric patients, and for this we require doctors working in these facilities to have a minimum of 6 months’ exposure to paediatric patients within the last few years. Such experience can significantly help a doctor to increase their potential job opportunities.

NES Resident Doctors ordinarily work alternate weeks of duty and rest. The duty weeks can be undertaken either as fully resident for 7 days or split into day and night shifts. Accommodation and meals are provided free of charge for the majority of these rotations.
