Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will join a team whose main aim is to ensure that the highest standards of Emergency Medicine are delivered by the department. You will be part of the team responsible for resuscitating critically ill medical, surgical and trauma patients both young and old as well as working in the Majors, Ambulatory and Minor Injuries areas.
You should be prepared to see any patient with any condition. Part of this role is to recognise and manage rapidly those who may be unwell or require timely resuscitation. You will be expected to determine which patients can be safely discharged, with or without further follow up, and to recognise those who need further investigation and admission under the care of a speciality team.
There will be an expectation that you will require senior input with certain patients, and you will be able to obtain that help rapidly and effectively.
About us
Watch our video which will show you why so many doctors want to work here at Wye Valley NHS Trust wwwemployers.bmj.com/1/wye-valley-nhs-trust.html
We are a progressive and forward looking trust with ambitious plans to improve quality and integrate patient pathways through close collaborative working with our partners to deliver the quality of care we'd want for our family and friends.
More than 3,000 people work for the Trust - they tell us it's a great place to work, blending the busyness of a DGH with the benefits of working in a beautiful rural and unspoilt county like Herefordshire.
The fact that we're rural hasn't hampered our ambitious plans to be the best we can. We're a "fast follower" in the NHS Digital Clinical IT Exemplar programme, we've just signed a multi-million pound deal with Philips to ensure we have the latest radiology equipment and we're in the process of having three new wards built.
We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential.
Russell Hardy, Trust Chairman: "The strength of the Trust is its amazing staff; a great place to work, a great place to develop your career and a great place to reach your potential."
Our values - Care, Accountability, Respect and Excellence - are at the heart of all we do. We believe in providing the right care in the right place at the right time...all the time.
