Job overview

Trust Doctor ST3+ Emergency Medicine
We are looking for enthusiastic doctors at ST3+ level to take up this 6-month post in Emergency Medicine. 
It is an exciting time to join our team as we have recently redeveloped our Emergency Department and have implemented a wide range of new processes and pathways.  We are now expanding our workforce to offer additional opportunities to motivated and engaged doctors who wish to develop themselves and the department.  We offer exceptional training opportunities in point of care ultrasound (POCUS) with two hours of dedicated teaching every week day!  There is also considerable scope for successful candidates to be involved in service re-design, simulation and quality improvement projects.  We have recently received awards and recognition for two projects at trust level.  In the past year, a number of our trust grade doctors have been promoted to the next tier and three of our middle grades have been promoted to consultant level.  Engaged and motivated candidates will find themselves at home in a culture of aspiration and excellence!

Interested applicants are invited to contact our ED Clinical Lead, Dr Georgie Blanco, via the hospital switchboard 01483 571122 or via email [email protected]

Main duties of the job

The primary duties of the post are to see new patients within the ED, and to be an on-site source of advice, help and supervision for more junior doctors in the ED. This is a senior post and your role will include being the doctor in charge of the department at night with a consultant on call from home after midnight.

The successful candidate will be working on the Middle Grade rota and accountable to the EM Consultants.

 We expect for the candidate to have good leadership skills, ability to manage the Department, including flow through the ED.
