Ever fancied living on the beautiful south coast?

We are looking for substantive consultants in Emergency Medicine to work at UHD - just a stone's throw from the glorious blue flag beaches of Bournemouth and Poole (we know we're biased).
These posts would initially be based at the Poole Site, the designated Trauma Unit and paediatric unit for east Dorset, ahead of the big move into the BEACH Building.
Contract start dates will be staggered through the year.
If selected you will be working alongside a vibrant, dedicated and passionate team across both sites and you will have the opportunity to be involved in developing the future service if interested.
If you are interested and want to know more, I can be directly contacted deborah.mayne4@nhs.net.
Main duties of the job
The role will involve seeing and assessing all presentations of adults and children with life threatening injury or illness.
Key clinical responsibilities include:
- Provide Consultant led care to all adult and paediatric patients presenting to the Emergency Department with serious illness or injury.
- Lead the department when in the Emergency Physician In Charge (EPIC) role.
- Support and supervision of a large body of resident doctors, whilst in training programmes or trust grade posts.
- Poole Hospital is currently the designated Major Trauma Unit for east Dorset, consultants working at the Poole site are responsible for leading the major trauma team.
- Poole Hospital is also the designated paediatric site, receiving all paediatric ambulance transfers from the community.
- Take part in the on-call rota - which can be off site provided you can return to the department within 30 minutes when required eg Level 1 Trauma Call. On site accommodation is available for those living more than 30 minutes away.
About us
Recently Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals have undergone merger into UHD. At present there is an Emergency Department at both Poole and Bournemouth sites, with RBH being thedesignated site for PCI and stroke thrombolysis, and Poole being the designated Major Trauma Unit as well as in patient paediatric services.
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have at interview.
