LOCUM CONSULTANT IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE (1 post)

Applications are invited to work within NHS Tayside’s Emergency Medicine service which sees 75,000 new patients per annum across Tayside and North East Fife.
NHS Tayside has developed an Unscheduled Care system that proactively manages unscheduled ED attendance thereby minimising surges in demand and maintaining good patient flow. This is supported by a system of direct admissions by GP referred patients to acute medical and surgical receiving areas; therefore, this group does not stop in the ED unless requiring resuscitation. The consultant team plays an active role in resuscitating, reviewing, and redirecting appropriate patients. The department is known for its interest in pre-hospital primary retrieval work via the Tayside Trauma Team, and Ninewells Hospital is the location of the East Region Major Trauma Centre of the four major trauma centres in the Scottish Trauma Network.
The Emergency Medicine service delivers high-quality undergraduate education with the University of Dundee Medical School and has an active interest in postgraduate education, audit, research, and Quality Improvement.
The appointee will join a dynamic and proactive team of 21 (18.6 WTE) Emergency Medicine Consultants. The post holder will be based in Ninewells Hospital, Dundee and Perth Royal Infirmary.
