The hospital sits within a multicultural borough with a population of 355 000, with an average age of 32 years and a high prevalence of diabetes (8.5%). The service benefits from a purpose built diabetes centre located in East Ham with diabetes outpatient facilities co located with the community Type 2 Diabetes Specialist Nurse service provided by the East London Foundation Trust and onsite podiatry and X ray.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the award winning Diabetes and Endocrinology team at a time of significant investment and service expansion.
