Temporary Acute Physician for Oncology Services

Velindre University NHS Trust seeks an interim Acute Locum Physician to provide consultant-level clinical support for the Acute, Inpatient and Palliative Care Service. The successful candidate will lead daily inpatient ward rounds, oversee deteriorating patients, manage discharge planning, make escalation decisions, supervise junior medical staff, and participate in governance and patient safety activities. This role is critical for maintaining service continuity in acute oncology, ensuring senior clinical decision-making is available across inpatient services, and mitigating clinical risks as the current agency arrangement expires. The appointment will support the Trust in maintaining high-quality patient care and operational stability during this transition period.
