This role provides a senior higher specialty (ED) trainee with the opportunity to develop valuable skills in leadership and management.

In return we will offer:
• Development opportunities, both professional and leadership development
• On-going support from recruitment to when you join our team and beyond.
• Staff benefits including employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership, onsite fitness classes, car schemes
Key Facts:
• We see on average 4810 OP appointments a day.
• We are the 4thbusiest Trauma & Orthopaedic outpatients department in England – an average of 2077 per week.
• An average of 1115 patients are seen in A&Es across our network every day – 3rd largest in the country.
• Our hospitals admit an average of 195 emergency patients daily.
• Last year we undertook almost 33,700 planned surgical operations in our 57 operating theatres.
• We are one of only 7 Trusts nationally with more than 50 operating theatres.
• We carry out more than 140 elective procedures each working day.
• UHDB is a research active University Hospital with a large and varied portfolio of clinical trials and research opportunities for all staff.
The Chief Medical Registrar will be supported both by the medical division senior management team and nationally from the bespoke leadership and management development programme provided by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP).
This years RCP leadership and management development programme commences in August/September 2025 and will involve some travel. The RCP cannot reimburse travel and accommodation expenses. The Trust will pay the programme fees for 2025/26

• At ST4 or above in Emergency Medicine
• Working full time or less-than-full-time
• With a National Training Number (NTN)
