The contract will be to provide 24 hour cover, 365 days a year for 2 RMO posts(a Ward RMO and an Anaesthetics RMO) The division will contract 4 doctors who will rotate in pairs on a fortnightly basis (i.e. pair of Ward RMOs and a pair of Anaes RMOs). The contract will be for 12 months in the first instance.
Doctors are hoping that this will be the start of something much more long-term and although the contract is just for the Leeds site so far, they are hoping it may lead to further work within the group.
Luke Burridge - Operations Manager for the Doctors Division has said the following:
"Nuffield Leeds is a really amazing hospital. The doctors we place there will have a genuine opportunity to learn and be mentored by some top specialists and to benefit from state of the art facilities. The doctors will have a lot of hard work to do but they;ll gain a great deal of experience."
