As a consultant in Emergency Medicine, you will join a highly experienced, multicultural team and benefit from a competitive package which includes 1.5 SPAs (flexible). You will also be able to work the bulk of your SPA time flexibly, by agreement with the Clinical Lead and Directorate Manager.

The department utilises a flexible self rostering system to enable medical staff to have greater control over when they deliver their clinical activity, within agreed constraints.

In addition, the Trust is heavily involved in both medical education and medical research and there is the opportunity for the right candidate to become involved in sub-specialties, if chosen. In addition, due to the challenges faced by Emergency Medicine across the country, you will also have the opportunity to help influence and shape service delivery for the future.
