Successful candidates will establish a 12.6 wte workforce on a 10 PA FT contract - the job plan spilt would be 7.5 DCC and 2.5 SPA.The rota is annualised and working patterns can meet individual needs.
The Emergency Department at Salisbury District Hospital is a small District General Hospital situated in a rural location serving the populations of Hampshire, Dorset, and Wiltshire. The department is a Trauma Unit aligned with the MTC at Southampton. The department sees around 58 000 attendances per year of which 25% are Paediatric.

Main duties of the job
The department is currently developing the service delivered and to that extent we are looking for individuals with a desire to support and develop innovation and the service. We would be keen to recruit those with interests in PEM, Older Persons Medicine, and other aligned interests. We support those on the CESR pathway to CCT and there is a focus on education, simulation and the department supports Trust grade Fellows in these fields. We are developing an ACP/PA workforce and again would support applicants with an interest in developing or previous experience in establishing these workforces. Those with a PEM interest would be encouraged to apply as we progress towards an integrated PED/DAU service for Paediatric patients.
The Trust itself is a tertiary referral unit for spinal injuries and there is a regional Burns and Plastics Centre. As a small Trust there are close links with other teams and the ability to work alongside these to develop innovative services.
