We are offering an exciting opportunity for a locum Consultant to join our forward-thinking and ambitious trust and department. Our department was opened in 2014 as part of the Urgent and Emergency Care Centre at New Cross Hospital. It boasts its own CT/MRI/USS services, purpose-built to facilitate the department, and a co-located SDEC and AMU. We are also co-located with an Urgent Care Centre.
New Cross Hospital is a Trauma unit offering Cardiothoracic and PCI services. We collaborate with all specialties across the hospital and have successfully embedded innovative working practices with our Acute Medicine colleagues. We have Acute Medicine Consultants working within the Emergency Department until 10 pm, seven days a week, and boast one of the lowest admission rates in the region.
Main duties of the job
The department sees around 470 patients per day across Majors, Minors, Resus, and Paediatrics. Our dedicated Paediatric area offers a 24-hour service and is run by our Paediatric Emergency Medicine Consultants between 0800 and 2400 hours. We also have specific ACPs for paediatrics.
We support joint roles in research, education, simulation, intensive care, pre-hospital emergency medicine, paediatric emergency medicine, sports and exercise medicine, frailty, and acute medicine.
Many of our consultants have dual roles, which can be negotiated upon appointment. Responsibilities include one of our consultants serving as the Divisional Medical Director, splitting time between ED and wider management, another being integral to the pre-hospital care team, and a dual-trained Consultant working within Adult and Paediatric Emergency Care. We also have Clinical Educator roles supported by RCEM and HEE, with dedicated time for teaching and supporting the MDT.
