Our healthcare model is different to and separate from the NHS. It’s a unique consultant-provided approach that offers high-quality medicine and continuity of care.
With greater involvement in direct patient care, and excellent working relationships with your fellow clinicians, you can make a big difference in our small community. It’s definitely the case that the more you put in, the more you get out.
The Princess Elizabeth Hospital, run by the States of Guernsey, has approximately 145 beds and strong clinical links to UK mainland centres, particularly Southampton University Hospital.
Around £100 million is being invested in an ambitious hospital modernisation programme over the next decade to future proof services and deliver the highest quality facilities for patients and staff alike.
Most consultants join us as associates and then - if all goes well - after a couple of years are invited to join our partnership. This gives you a stake in the group and enables you to be involved in key decisions.
To become an MSG consultant, you must hold higher qualifications as defined by your Royal College and be on the specialist register of the General Medical Council. Once you are appointed, you register with HSC (Health and Social Care) to practice in Guernsey.
Annual appraisals for MSG consultants are carried out by senior MSG or Southampton clinicians and there is a 360 appraisal (involving staff and patients) every five years. The responsible officer (currently the HSC’s medical director) reviews your performance and you are expected to maintain a programme of continuous professional development (CPD).
Our dedicated team of support staff are integral to the smooth running of the group. Together with the clinicians, we always put our patients first so that they feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
Our team includes surgical assistants, nurses and admin staff who support the consultants directly as well as leadership roles, finance, governance and IT.
The opportunities to develop your career at the MSG are many and varied.
Investing in our people is an important priority for us as it ensures that we retain talent and provide high quality professional services to our community.
We take our corporate social responsibilities seriously and are proactively working to reduce our carbon emissions and impact on the environment. The subsidised cycle to work scheme which promotes active living is one of the benefits open to everyone in the team as part of our health and wellbeing strategy.
