Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth has a reputation for innovation and excellence, consistently delivering outstanding performance, whilst developing the skills and abilities of our staff. We are delighted to have recently been rated “GOOD” overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
We are excited to be recruiting for a substantive Consultant in Emergency Medicine at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU) based at Queen Alexandra Hospital.
Emergency Medicine is at the heart of the hospital’s emergency care pathway and provides high quality care for patients from the moment they arrive at the hospital. The department is led by a highly motivated group of consultants who are committed to providing high level care with a drive to develop the service further.
Our department is one of the busiest in the South of England. We have some exciting developments happening over the next few years such as on building the new department in a project named Building Better Emergency Care (BBEC). The state-of-the-art new build, designed with a large 8 bedded resuscitation room, Urgent Care area, expanded Paediatric Emergency Department, integrated Radiology Hub, including plain film and 2 CT scanners, and provision for mental health patients, is set to open in October 2024.
This reflects the Trust’s commitment to the service in order for the Emergency Department to deliver high quality and timely care in the face of the pressures resulting from increased emergency admissions and the greater acuity of cases presenting. The department provides mentoring to newly qualified consultants in order for applicants to develop extended consultant skills. The Trust has recently been supported by NHSI and has had a number of visits that praised the redirection pathways from triage, the nurse led Emergency Care centre (ECC) as well as all the staffs’ efforts to improve patient safety.
Applicants will have every opportunity in our department to develop their interests and support our ambition to provide safe and effective care.
