Job overview
Are you a ED Registrar/middle grade or specialty doctor looking to work in an energetic and welcoming emergency department (ED) in one of the most beautiful cities in the UK? Do you want to become an emergency medicine consultant?
You do not need to be in training but need to be able to work as the most senior clinician overnight in the ED.
We are offering full or partial CESR programme tailored to your needs and we strongly encourage you to contact us in advance to discuss your individual requirements. We can offer contracts of up-to 3 years duration. We already have an established CESR programme and have secured placements in anaesthetics, intensive care, paediatrics and acute medicine.
90% of your post is clinical :
You will self-roster your shifts on an annualised full shift rota giving you freedom to arrange the rota around your needs.
10% of your post is non clinical: Giving you time to maintain your portfolio and get experience in management, audit, teaching and research to help you complete your CESR competencies. You will also be given 10 days of study leave and a generous study budget on top of this to explore your educational needs.
Main duties of the job
Working in the ED with direct shop floor supervision from our 20 consultants, 1 consultant nurse, alongside 9 experienced ED middle grades, 3 Advanced Nurse Practitioners and 30 SHOs. The post offers protected weekly departmental teaching and benefits from educational supervision by a consultant as well as many other educational opportunities on shift. A typical day may see you involved in Stroke Thrombolysis, PPCI for STEMI, Major Trauma (as a busy trauma unit) and Acute Paediatrics as well as Minor Injuries.
We use self rostering but need to provide cover at middle grade level 24/7.
