Connecting clinical expertise to patient care
Emeritus 2.0 is part of our Liaison National Bank initiative. This expansion means an even bigger impact on patient care, ensuring vital specialisms are filled and strengthening the NHS for everyone.
This initiative connects recently retired and peri-retired clinicians across the UK, with NHS providers of acute care who need the help only experienced clinicians can offer. Emeritus 2.0 enables providers to engage clinicians for clinical activities such as outpatient planned care, teaching and education.
Whilst recognising that much activity will be in-person, Emeritus 2.0 aims to make optimal use of technology, enabling clinicians to also deliver care remotely, when clinically appropriate. In this way, members of NHS Emeritus can work flexibly, fitting in as much or as little as they would like to, around their other interests and commitments.
Consultants and SAS doctors are eligible to participate as long as they are on the medical register of the General Medical Council (GMC) and hold a licence to practice. Consultants also must be on the GMC’s specialist register.

Benefits of joining as a clinician
- Work flexibly, from any location in the UK, to suit both your requirements and expertise
- Manage your pay and receive regular payment for assignments completed
- Streamlined application process and dedicated support
- Be part of the effort to reduce the elective recovery backlog, and benefit those waiting for care
- Be part of our retired clinician community
