Now is a really exciting time to Join our Team of forward-thinking  Ageing & Complex Medicine (Elderly Medicine) Locum Consultants at Wrightington Wigan and Leigh (WWL) NHS Foundation Trust, and make a real difference to our elderly patients in the Wigan Borough. 

Here at WWL we put the patient at the heart of everything we do, as we strive to deliver and develop our modern and comprehensive Elderly Care service. We would love to hear from applicants who have already developed a sub-specialty interest within Elderly Care, and those who have not already done so would be encouraged to do so through in–house training/ attending relevant CPD activities. Opportunities are available across in-patient and out-patient with support from the clinical director and divisional management team to build and develop your area of interest.
