Doctors of the World UK
Doctors of the World UK is part of the global Médecins du Monde network, which delivers over 400 projects in more than 80 countries through 3,000 volunteers.
During the COVID-19 crisis, we had to make the difficult decision to temporarily suspend our drop-in clinic service. However, we have continued to support people through the advice line and remote GP consultations.
We have now reopened our clinic 3 days per week – Tuesday (Women & Children Clinic Day), Wednesday and Thursday- incorporating remote support in the services that we offer.
Our services are staffed by volunteer support workers, caseworkers, nurses, and GPs. These volunteers provide a highly empathetic and practical service to our service users, making a real difference to people’s lives.
We are looking for a Volunteer Nurses and GPs to join our clinic team, located in east London. Given the current Covid-19 context, we are particularly looking for clinicians who will be able to travel to the clinic easily (there is no parking, but good access to public transport. We also have bike racks outside the clinic).
We are also looking to build a small team of non-London based (but UK based) Volunteer Nurses and GPs, to be able to provide remote consultations, in order to expand the reach of DOTW clinical consults to those service users who live outside of London or are unable to reach our Clinic.
Remote consultations can be carried out from home, no travel to the London clinic will be necessary. If you are interested in joining our ‘ Remote Consulting Clinicians’ team’ please ensure it is clearly stated in your application
