Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest Acute Trusts in the South East, which became amalgamated in October 2014. The Trust was formed by the acquisition of Heatherwood and Wexham Park by Frimley Park. Frimley Park was the first Trust in the country to be rated as ‘Outstanding’ overall by England’s Chief Inspector of Hospitals in September 2014. Wexham Park Hospital received a “Good” overall rating from the CQC in February 2015, and the Emergency Department is rated as “Outstanding”.
The Emergency Department is located within a brand new purpose-built Department (opened April 2019) with Acute Medical & Surgical Assessment Units.
Please note if we receive a high number of applications we reserve the right to close the vacancy early.
As a Specialist Clinical Fellow in the Emergency Department, you will have the opportunity to be involved (along with more senior staff) in the initial resuscitation of seriously ill or injured patients to include investigations, and any practical procedures that may be necessary. Also, you will provide care to those with less serious conditions.
You will participate in a 24-hour rota with our other doctors, on a full shift pattern of work. You will obviously be expected to keep yourself fully up to date with the relevant areas of practice. The rota has been redesigned to optimize the work life balance and to provide designated time for clinical and non-clinical administration.
Applicants must have completed the Foundation Training programme and must have worked a minimum of 24 months as a Doctor in the NHS.
