The job entails being part of a 24-hour rota, covering, days, nights, and weekends. You will be expected to assess patients, make primary diagnosis, and initiate emergency treatment. Emergency medicine consultants cover the shop floor from 08:00 to 00:00 with 5-minute major trauma consultant response outside of these hours. The rota is 2016 T&C's compliant.
The workload will involve seeing minor injuries, ambulatory patients, major, resus and major trauma cases and covering our Clinical Decision Unit. Our department is a busy inner-city institution and provides cover for a diverse population with specific medical and social needs providing an interesting and varied case mix.
Primarily, trainees’ duties will be to provide, safe, effective, and timely care to the patients presenting to and under the continuing care of the Emergency Department. You will also be providing guidance to junior colleagues where appropriate and eventually as your role develops you will progress to streaming patients, directing the workforce, and managing the department. Trainees will be expected to act according to GMC guidance on good medical practice and adhere to Trust policies on infection control, sickness reporting, risk management etc.
