As a senior level doctor within the ED team postholders will be expected to be the responsible emergency physician in charge on-site (after-hours) dealing with acutely unwell patients, supervising and supporting junior staff and advanced clinical practitioners, and helping to coordinate the flow of patients in the department (with the support of the on-call ED consultant).
Now is an exciting time to join us at Scarborough Hospital. We are undergoing a major new-build project to re-provide its Acute, Urgent & Emergency Medical facilities & we are looking for Specialty Doctors to work with our existing team.
Work has almost completed on a £47M upgrade of our hospital set in the heart of historic seaside town of Scarborough on the beautiful Yorkshire Coast. The new facility is not a new A&E. It is a multi-function clinical space that enables the delivery of our innovative Acute Medical Model (AMM); a pioneering new approach to the delivery of urgent and emergency care which is due to open on 28th November 2024.
AMM combines all of our "front door" services including ED, Resuscitation, Urgent care, Frailty, Same Day Emergency Care and overnight "short stay" into a single holistic, multi-disciplinary footprint. With access to dedicated radiology & a purpose built, flexible working space that covers over 3000sqm, the AMM facility provides a once in a generation opportunity to adopt & promote a 'working without walls' across all major specialties.
Not only that, our new unit will house a state of the art Critical Care & Medical Level 1 space on the floor above & this, along with other major site improvements already underway, will transform acute care on the Yorkshire coast. We serve the local population as well as the high numbers of holiday makers that flock to the east coast year after year., We see approximately 70000 non-elective patients annually and provide on-site services that cover the majority of medical and surgical services (with the exception of those usually provided at a tertiary centre). We have a well-equipped and very active postgraduate education department on site, and are involved in extensive training activities for students of all disciplines including Hull York Medical School.
We see the full range of patients at Scarborough, including children, and we have recently upgraded our helipad to enable use 24/7. We are a Trauma Unit and have links with the local Major Trauma Centre in Hull.
