All consultants contribute to the management and development of their clinical service and support the smooth running of their directorate, complying with Trust policies, Standing Orders, and Financial Regulations.

The duties outlined are not exhaustive and may be adjusted as required by the clinical director. Flexibility and a collaborative approach to work are expected.
