SPECIALTY DOCTOR IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE

We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic Emergency Physician to join our team in Wrexham to cover a period of maternity leave on a fixed term basis. Given that this is a short-term fixed term appointment, it would be advantageous for the applicant to have experience of working in a UK NHS Emergency Department in order to maximise the ability to robustly integrate into working at a senior level in this busy Emergency Department.

The department sees around 65,000 new patients a year (approximately 20% paediatric).

The current medical staff consists of 11 WTE Consultants, 10 Specialty Doctors, 3-4 Higher Specialist Trainees, 2 Intermediate EM trainees (ST3s), 12 Junior doctors, 2 FY1s and 3 ACPs/ trainee ACPs and 1 Physicians Associate. We pride ourselves on having established working practices that provide extended shop floor hours in a way that is sustainable long-term, and also on our continued ability to recruit and retain our ‘middle grade’ Specialty Doctor tier when there is a national shortage. We also have Emergency Nurse, Cardiac Nurse, and Physiotherapy Practitioners working in the department and an excellent 24 hour Psychiatric Liaison service. We provide a senior led service for adults and children including major trauma as a Trauma Unit, our designated Trauma Centre being more than 45 minutes away. We also have a separate area for assessment and treatment of children.
