Careers With Us

A hospital doctor would diagnose and treat illness and disease in patients who have been admitted to hospital. Communication skills are really important to this role, as doctors need to be able to listen to patients and give them advice and reassurance. To become a hospital doctor you will need to complete a five-year degree course in medicine and a two-year foundation programme of general training. You will then need to do further specialist training. The length of your specialist training will depend on which area of medicine you have chosen to study. If you have strong academic abilities in science, and you want a challenging career where you will be helping people, then a job as a doctor could be ideal for you.
