2. Work in the Emergency Department Review Clinic when required.
3. Supervise the work of STs and ENPs, participating fully in their training as appropriate.

Clinical duties will include leading the management of acutely ill and trauma patients. Leadership qualities, especially as head of an emergency team, are emphasized and are expected to develop through supervision of junior doctors and involvement in their education, both formal and informal.
The post holder should prioritize and manage time effectively, utilize senior staff appropriately for advice, commit to ongoing personal development, and maintain a portfolio of evidence.
