Medical & Dental
NELFT puts medical leadership at the heart of our service development and we are keen for the clinical voice and patient voice to guide our service delivery decisions and developments, while remaining mindful of best practice. We offer doctors a unique opportunity to work in new revolutionary models of care. We have a formidable medical educational department, research department, and quality improvement teams.
We invest a lot in equality and diversity making sure the workforce is as representative as the patients we look after this gives me a sense of belonging and is one of the reasons I love being at NELFT so much.
