The role will provide the perfect opportunity to gain further experience in the management of inpatient major trauma, and frail older people alongside our specialist teams. The posts will develop skills in holistic care and multi-speciality working that are relevant to all branches of medicine and surgery. There will be opportunities within the trauma service for candidates to develop non-clinical areas of interest such as quality assurance, clinical governance and education, including simulation.
At the RVI there is the opportunity to join grand rounds and to attend weekly teaching delivered via Emergency Medicine. The OPM weekly teaching is currently held in the FRH but the opportunity to join remotely from the RVI site is in development.
As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.

• Freeman Hospital
• Newcastle Dental Hospital
• Cramlington Manor Walks
• Urgent treatment centres
• Newcastle Fertility Centre
• Northern Centre for Cancer Care, North Cumbria
• Northern Genetics Service
These include a range of flagship services which deliver cutting-edge care (supported by state-of-the-art diagnostic services in both radiology and pathology) and are a catalyst for innovation to support pioneering clinical practice in the NHS.
We also have offices at Regent Point in Gosforth and community sites.
