Job overview
SPECIALTY DOCTOR – FULL TIME – PERMANENT POST – 10 PA’S
EMERGENCY MEDICINE
Do you want a job that you enjoy and will further your career?
Do you want to work in a happy, friendly department with people who strive to provide the highest quality patient care?
Do you want to work in a beautiful town surrounded by world famous countryside which has been voted one of the happiest places to live in the UK for several years running?
Why not come and see for yourself what Harrogate has to offer?
A new and exciting opportunity has arisen to work within the small and friendly Emergency Department at Harrogate District Hospital which has a reputation for excellence. You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to provide support and a comprehensive acute care service within the Trust.
Main duties of the job
You will be joining a team of 4 HST & 15 Specialty doctors on an established CESR training programme. Our CESR posts have been created specifically to give doctors with previous experience and a keen interest in Emergency Medicine the opportunity to develop their career through a tailored training programme. We have successfully supported several Doctors to complete their CESR training and secure Consultant positions.
The posts are based at Harrogate and District Hospital and have been designed to give the post holder the opportunity to acquire essential competencies in both emergency medicine and relevant allied specialties (paediatrics, acute medicine, anaesthetics and ITU). The programme also includes regular teaching which parallels the Emergency medicine curriculum and HST training consisting of weekly teaching sessions along with self-directed learning/CPD sessions for the equivalent of ½ day per week.
Working for our organisation
The training takes approximately 4 years to complete depending on previous experience and will culminate in the requisite skills, experience and portfolio to support an application for a Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) through the GMC. The ultimate aim being to establish a career as a fully accredited consultant in Emergency Medicine. Our CESR scheme has been running successfully now for approximately 4 years with current trainees making excellent progress.
There will also be the opportunity to deliver teaching as part of the regional training programme and participate in our active research team. Each individual will have their training needs assessed and a programme created specifically for them in conjunction with their colleagues’ training needs. Rotations to other specialties will last 3-4 months and the rest of the year will be spent improving emergency medicine skills and acquiring further experience in the emergency department.
This is an exciting time to join the Trust which is one of the highest performing NHS Trusts in the UK.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The rota provides 24 hour cover with 1:4 weekends worked on a 10 PA basis. There are also additional weekend day time sessions which can be worked on a voluntary basis to enhance earnings. You will be joining a cohesive team led by 10 consultants (8.3 WTE) with a wide breadth of teaching experience and backgrounds.
Successful applicants should have completed a significant length of time in postgraduate training in Emergency Medicine and/or other relevant specialties. If you would like to find out more, please call Dr Victoria Holloway, Consultant, Emergency Medicine on 01423 557384. We would also be happy for you to chat to our current specialty doctors based in the department and this can be arranged by telephone.
