We are looking for a motivated and committed individual to join a forward thinking organisation. Providing outstanding care, promoting health and wellbeing whilst continuously learning and improving are just some of our strategic objectives in our five year plan, with these in mind if you are looking for an exciting opportunity to join our friendly and supportive Emergency Department then look no further. 

Our Emergency Department performs well against the 4 hour wait target and is consistently in the top 20 Trust’s nationally for this performance.

We are a level 2 trauma unit and actively contribute to the regional trauma network. We also run a single front door model where we have a 24/7 co-located primary care service, where we stream circa 20% of attendances from ED to primary care. We have a fully integrated frailty and discharge service at our front door, including therapy and social care and a 7 day a week Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit. We have recently introduced a High Intensity Service User programme that is staffed by senior nurses with consultant input to work with patients who frequently attend ED.

With plenty of teaching opportunities, we have regular cohorts of medical students who require training for critical illness and musculoskeletal modules. There is also the opportunity to teach ACP, ENP, MG, SpR, ACCS and junior trainees. We also run in-house ALS/ATLS/EPLS and Ultrasound courses that attract attendees from across the region
