Job Summary
The Great Western Hospital opened in 2002 following a move from the Princess Margaret Hospital elsewhere in Swindon. The Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides acute hospital services (at the Great Western Hospital) and some community health services. As a Trust, we place high importance on staff wellbeing; you will be offered a wide variety of support to help you maintain your wellbeing and to help colleagues maintain theirs. The Trust's Health and Wellbeing team has won a National Award during 2020 for the work they have done locally.
Our priority for our patients, whether cared for in hospital or in the community is to provide safe, high quality health services and we have an impressive track record on issues such as patient safety and infection control.

We recognise that caring for patients well is not just about having the right clinicaltreatment it is about much more - the way patients are spoken to, the quality of the food, thelevelofprivacy,dignityandrespectpatientsaretreatedwithandsomuchmore.
There is an excellent team ethos within the hospital, with medical, nursing and physiologistteams working closely together and delivering an integrated patient care pathway for allpatients.
Main duties of the job
These posts are rotational through 3 rotations - August, December, April. Rotations for each post can consist of any of the Medical Specialties, however all posts will include a rotation through Acute Medicine, which includes an out of hours rota and salary enhancement.

Cooperation with nursing staff and other members of the multi-disciplinary team (pharmacists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists, dieticians) is vital.
While this is not formally recognized as a training post, we would expect post holders to gain similar experience to those on recognised training posts and use this as a springboard to achieve a competitive post in the future.
