Summary
We are looking to appoint a Chief Registrar in Emergency Medicine. This role will work closely with Chief Registrar colleagues in Acute and Ambulatory Medicine and will involve enrolment in the prestigious RCP Chief Registrar education programme.
The post will consist of 40% full time equivalent protected time for Chief Registrar work - including quality improvement projects, teaching, leadership and service improvement. The remaining time will be allocated to clinical Emergency Medicine work within the two Emergency Departments at OUH.
OUHNHST has recruited Chief Registrars every year since the launch of the RCP programme. The Chief Registrars have had the opportunity to work on Service Development, Quality Improvement, Leadership Development and have presented their work at a variety of national forums. Their success is allowing the Trust to continue to have Chief Registrars for the coming year.
Support will be given from the consultant body as well as from key leaders within the Trust.

OUH offers this role as an Out of Programme opportunity for advanced training that is complementary to existing specialist curricula. The successful trainee would leave their specialist training programme for the duration of the Chief Registrar opportunity. Previously permission has been given from the Royal College of Emergency Medicine for the EM CR role to be classed as an ‘OOPT’ post, with the clinical proportion of the role (typically 60% FTE) contributing to training progression for those working towards a CCT.
The posts within the Emergency Department can be full or less than fulltime with early discussions with the Clinical Lead.
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH)
OUH is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the UK and a renowned centre of clinical excellence. Each year, OUH has over one million patient contacts including nearly 100,000 emergency admissions. The Trust has a strong collaboration with the University of Oxford, which underpins the quality of care that is provided to patients, from the delivery of high-quality research - bringing innovation from the laboratory bench to the bedside - to the delivery of high-quality education and training for doctors.
OUH delivers acute emergency care on two of its four hospital sites (the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury), supports the urgent care pathway across distributed community settings, and is working towards comprehensive application of the Future Hospitals Commission principles.
Clinical
60% of ‘basic’ time will focus on delivering and leading clinical care within OUHFT’s Emergency Departments the John Radcliffe and Horton Hospital sites. A full shift-based Emergency Medicine rota including out of hours work will proportionally reflect those working on the same rota tier. This will include clinical work in the day, evening, night and weekends.
The ‘additional hours’ (beyond basic) Chief Registrar commitment will focus on delivery of ‘leadership in Emergency and Ambulatory care’ support of peak periods. Typically, urgent care pathways see sustained surges in demand from lunchtime until late evening; Chief Registrar leadership of early, rapid assessment, treatment and pathway determination during this period will be a vital component in delivering better patient outcomes and care.
Service Transformation
In aggregate, 40% of ‘basic’ time (‘in-hours’) will be allocated to supporting service transformation towards an ‘ambulatory by default’ model: delivered in all assessment settings, 24-7, with exceptional patient-centred outcomes and inclusive use of innovative pathways that minimise use of traditional inpatient settings and optimise value. Delivering this will require close work with management teams, to initiate and develop projects including those identified by the Chief Registrars.
All activities will embrace the Trust’s vision of patient-centered service transformation and be aligned with the Future Hospital Commission’s recommendations for ambulatory and same-day emergency care: with greater vertical and horizontal integration of acute services transcending traditional hospital-community and intra-hospital barriers. Such activities will complement Trust service improvement initiatives, and will have patient safety and the delivery of high-quality, better safe, compassionate care at their core.
