We are looking to appoint Specialty Doctors in Emergency Medicine at University Hospitals Dorset to work at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital site, just a stone’s throw from the glorious blue flag beaches of Bournemouth and Poole.
The Emergency Medicine team at UHD has significant experience and expertise in supporting doctors through the CESR programme, many of whom now work as substantive consultants at both sites. We currently run a CESR programme which includes a bespoke professional development plan tailored to meeting the needs of the individual doctor, including availability of placements in Critical Care, Anaesthetics, Acute Medicine, and Paediatrics, as well as mentor support from a consultant who has previously attained CESR. Successful candidates have the option to participate in this programme if desired.
Recently, Poole, Bournemouth, and Christchurch Hospitals have merged into UHD. At present, there is an Emergency Department at both Poole and Bournemouth sites, with RBH being the designated site for PCI and stroke thrombolysis, and Poole being the designated Major Trauma Unit as well as inpatient paediatric services.
This is all set to change at the end of 2024 when the Trauma Unit status moves across to Bournemouth and the ED will move into a new state-of-the-art department in the Beach Building, alongside Paediatrics, Critical Care, and Maternity.
To provide high-quality emergency care, being competent in the normal range of emergency medical conditions and injuries, the successful candidate will:
1. Provide direct clinical care consisting of scheduled shifts for the routine assessment and treatment of patients that present to the Emergency Department.
2. Take part in the middle tier rota, covering 24 hours, seven days a week.
3. Undertake professional development and participate in audits, ensuring all clinical governance areas are met.
The successful candidate will join the existing Emergency Department team at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital supporting the Middle Grade tier. Responsibilities will include assisting the team in providing 24-hour emergency care to the population of Dorset. The candidate will be someone who is committed to Emergency Medicine and has a desire to work in a fast-paced and stimulating environment. The successful candidate will be supported by a team of 15 Consultants.
We do reserve the right to close this advertisement early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future and define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD is investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following the merger and the New Hospital Programme. This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have at interview.
