The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Eastern Services, is currently inviting applicants to join our team of Middle-grade doctors in the Emergency Department at Exeter. We are building our Senior and Junior Middle Grade team with a focus on developing sustainable working practices. Our basic job plans comprise an attractive 35 hours a week inclusive of SPA time and we have a range of posts available suited to individual interests.
Our team comprises clinicians with subspecialty interest in Paediatrics, PHEM, Research, CESR, Environmental Sustainability, Extreme Medicine, Sports Medicine and much more. Discussion around Fellowship posts or other individualised job plans to support professional development, academic work or outside interests are welcomed. We have a strong track record in delivering CESR, MSc in Extreme Medicine, welcoming International Medical Graduates and providing accredited time for FACEM training.
The Emergency Department is a modern progressive department and Trauma Unit supported by a dedicated team of 20 Consultant Emergency Physicians providing shop floor leadership from 0800 to 2300 hours, 365 days a year. Our Medical staffing model enjoys round the clock middle grade cover, a 21-person junior doctor rota, with 3 SHOs overnight and is supported by a team of Emergency Nurse Practitioners.
We are currently in the final phases of a rebuild which so far has provided a new Resuscitation Area, upgraded Majors and Minors space, and a separate area for Children is currently being finalised. This recent investment both in terms of process and resource to ensure the efficient flow of patients through the Emergency Department aims to provide a productive and rewarding environment in which to work.
There is an excellent Departmental Educational Programme for Junior and Middle Grade Doctors and any successful candidate would be encouraged to undertake Quality Improvement activities. Job Planned time is provided for this, both in terms of supporting professional activities and time for clinical administration.
