Summary
This is an opportunity to join a dynamic and enthusiastic team who believe in leading from the frontline and aim to provide outstanding care. The department is supported by an excellent consultant and middle grade tier which provides 24 hour cover.

The applicants will be expected to have undergone appropriate foundation training or equivalent training. Preference will be given to those who have previous experience in Emergency Medicine. There will be opportunities to develop skills in emergency medicine, point of care ultrasound, quality improvement, and teaching and training including simulation, with 2 weeks of paid study leave. The department has a broad case mix with approximately 30% of patients attending the department brought by 999 ambulance.

We would positively welcome applications from candidates with an interest in acute medicine. We are a Trauma Unit and work in close relationship with the Northern Trauma Network.
