An Introduction to the Specialty The Emergency Medicine Service is delivered on two sites within the Trust with the Pinderfields hospital site designated as a Major Trauma Unit, Dewsbury is a local ED and Pontefract was one of the first Urgent Treatment Centres in England. Our multi-disciplinary team of dedicated and committed professionals provide high quality care and treatment in what is, when combined across the three hospitals, consistently ranked as one of the top five busiest Urgent and Emergency Medicine services in England handling around 250,000 attendances each year. The majority of our Consultant team have developed special interests and have been given the time to chase their own passions and interests. This allows them to really support our clinical fellows in developing their own special interests as theyve already been there. Outlined below are some of the things we are proud of as a service: We are an Associate Teaching Hospital and have won national awards for the quality of our undergraduate Emergency Medicine teaching programme. Were closely involved in the West Yorkshire Acceleration Zone looking at trialling different projects to improve our Emergency Care Standard performance. Were part of the MERIT programme and take part in regular exercises to practise dealing with major incidents. The last one involved setting up an Advanced Casualty Clearing Station (ACCS) close to a major shopping centre as part of an exercise looking at emergency response for a terrorist incident. Ours is the only region in the country which has a MERIT response like this, meaning we are one of only five acute trusts in the country which undertakes these types of response and sends a team to an ACCS. We do incident training every three years in terms of live exercising and all the ED staff get the opportunity to do a table-top exercise each year. The Trust has spent the last three years reconfiguring services across its hospitals Pinderfields, Dewsbury and Pontefract one of the largest reconfiguration projects in the country. Weve been involved in the first few of an ongoing series of Rapid Process Improvement Workshops (RPIW).

Referral of patients to other specialities as appropriate Involvement in relevant administration duties Opportunities for active involvement in audit and clinical governance including service improvement activities Working across both Dewsbury and Pinderfields sites The above list is not intended to be exhaustive and it is likely duties may be altered from time to time in the light of changing circumstances and after discussion with the post holder.
