Overview
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.
Role
Chief Registrar in Emergency Medicine at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH), supporting Emergency Medicine, Ambulatory Medicine and Acute Medicine.
Structure & Support
This role is supported by the Royal College of Physicians, Royal College of Emergency Medicine and Health Education England. The Trust appoints Chief Registrars every year since the launch of the RCP programme, offering opportunities in service development, quality improvement, and national forum presentations.
Responsibilities
* 60% of basic time delivering and leading clinical care within OUH’s Emergency Departments (John Radcliffe and Horton Hospital sites), covering day, evening, night and weekends on a shift‑based rota.
* 40% protected Chief Registrar time focusing on service transformation, project delivery and leadership skill development, in close collaboration with management teams to initiate and develop projects, including those identified by the Chief Registrars.
* Supporting the Trust’s vision of patient‑centred service transformation and aligning with the Future Hospital Commission’s recommendations for ambulatory and same‑day emergency care, ensuring patient safety, high‑quality and compassionate care.
Qualifications & Experience
* EM middle‑grade ST3+; senior clinicians especially suited.
* Required: more than 12 months experience working in a UK Emergency department.
* Training programme eligibility: Thames Valley EM trainees can apply as an in‑training programme (<50‑60% clinical proportion); others may consider OOPT or OOPE or apply as a free‑standing 12‑month contract.
* Ongoing support from consultant body and key Trust leaders.
Professional Development
Training is complementary to existing specialist curricula. If successfully appointed, the clinical FTE (typically 60% or 50‑60%) contributes to training progression for those working towards a CCT. The 12‑month post is a fixed term for applicants not in a formal training programme; secondment could be considered.
