About the Role

I am delighted to announce that a vacancy for a Consultant in Stroke Medicine has become available at a district general hospital based within the Lincolnshire area.

The Trust provides a wide range of healthcare services delivered by 7,800 highly trained staff and volunteers. Our services cost over £400m each year to provide, and we invest around £18m each year in improving our clinical services by replacing and upgrading our medical equipment, modernising our estate and facilities, and improving our information and technology infrastructure. In an average year, we treat more than 180,000 A&E patients, nearly half a million outpatients, and almost 100,000 inpatients.
