University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust
We are looking to appoint Specialty Doctors in Emergency Medicine at University Hospitals Dorset to work at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital site, just a stone's throw from the glorious blue flag beaches of Bournemouth and Poole.
The Emergency Medicine team at UHD has significant experience and expertise in supporting doctors through the CESR programme. We currently run a CESR programme which includes a bespoke professional development plan tailored to the individual doctor's needs, including placements in Critical Care, Anaesthetics, Acute Medicine, and Paediatrics, as well as mentor support from a consultant who has previously attained CESR. Successful candidates can participate in this programme if desired.
At present, there is an Emergency Department at both Poole and Bournemouth sites, with RBH being the designated site for PCI and stroke thrombolysis, and Poole being the designated Major Trauma Unit as well as inpatient paediatric services. This will change at the end of 2024 when the Trauma Unit status moves across to Bournemouth and the ED will move into a new state-of-the-art department in the Beach Building, alongside Paediatrics, Critical Care, and Maternity.
Main duties of the job
1. Provide high-quality emergency care, being competent in the normal range of emergency medical conditions and injuries.
2. Direct clinical care will consist of scheduled shifts for the routine assessment and treatment of patients that present to the Emergency Department.
