The Royal London Hospital and St Bartholomew’s Hospital

We are seeking to appoint a Consultant Physician in Acute Medicine and Endocrinology to join our teams at The Royal London Hospital and St Bartholomew’s Hospital. This is an excellent opportunity to combine a core role in acute medicine with specialist endocrine practice within a large and diverse teaching Trust.

In Acute Medicine, you will join a well-established, consultant-led service delivering care across the Acute Assessment Unit, Emergency Department and Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC). Consultant activity is structured around the acute medical take, post-take ward rounds, and ward-based responsibilities, providing a balanced mix of acute clinical decision-making, continuity of care, and ambulatory medicine.

The Endocrinology component of the post is delivered across both sites, with outpatient activity based at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and inpatient endocrine work primarily at The Royal London Hospital. This includes specialist endocrine consultation for inpatients, participation in multidisciplinary care, and contribution to the management of complex endocrine presentations.

The Royal London Hospital is a major trauma and neurosurgical centre, providing a distinctive opportunity to be involved in the assessment and management of endocrine complications of neurosurgical disease and traumatic brain injury, alongside acute general medical care. The role also includes involvement in established endocrine services at St Bartholomew’s, including outpatient clinics and multidisciplinary working within a tertiary endocrine centre with recognised strengths in pituitary disease.

This cross-site model offers the opportunity to maintain and develop specialist expertise across both acute and tertiary endocrine settings, while remaining embedded in acute general medicine. The successful candidate will contribute to high-quality care across both organisations and support the development of integrated clinical pathways.
