Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic, forward-thinking Emergency Medicine clinician who wishes to develop higher level skills in Emergency Medicine combined with leadership, management, quality improvement and service development.
The Trust is looking to appoint a Chief Registrar in Emergency Medicine to continue its very successful previous appointments to Chief Registrar within both Emergency Medicine, Ambulatory Medicine and Acute Medicine. These posts are supported by the Royal College of Physicians, Royal College of Emergency Medicine and Health Education England and are aimed to help trainees develop key skills that will equip them for their career as a consultant.
OUHNHSFT has recruited Chief Registrars every year since the launch of the RCP programme. The Chief Registrars have had the opportunity to work on service development and quality improvement alongside leadership skills and have presented their work at a variety of national forums. Their success is allowing the Trust to continue to have Chief Registrars for the coming year.
Support will be given from the consultant body as well as from key leaders within the Trust.

Main duties of the job
OUH offers this role as an opportunity for advanced training that is complementary to existing specialist curricula. If a local (Thames Valley) trainee is successfully appointed to the role previous precedent has been to run the programme as an ‘in training’ opportunity, with the clinical FTE worked contributing towards training progression (typically -% FTE). Should the successful applicant be in a trainee programme elsewhere, they would need to consider application for the post as OOPT or OOPE. Previously permission has been given from the Royal College of Emergency Medicine for the EM CR role to be classed as an ‘OOPT’ post, with the clinical proportion of the role (typically % FTE) contributing to training progression for those working towards a CCT. Should the successful applicant not be in a formal training programme, the month post offered will be a fixed term and request for secondement could be considered.
The posts within the Emergency Department can be full or less than fulltime with early discussions with the Clinical Lead. The Chief Registrar component is recommended to be % FTE.
