About the role

Do you have what it takes to be part of our Acute Medicine team? This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a newly developed and redesigned acute assessment unit, part of a major expansion of our urgent care facilities.

A newly designed Acute Assessment & Frailty Unit was the last element of our "Ground Floor" urgent and emergency care model, a journey that began with the opening of our state-of-the-art Emergency Department and CT and MRI suite.

The unit brings together acute medicine, with a high observation facility, and a Same Day Emergency Care into one expansive facility. The service is further supported by an 18 bedded short stay acute ward

You will be based in the heart of the action within our vibrant Acute Assessment Unit, using your skills, knowledge and experience to provide rapid assessment of patients, supported by a full Multidisciplinary Team.

The hospital boasts an excellent Post Graduate Education Department as well as the Hull Institute of Learning and Simulation (HILS) offering practical skills rooms, ward areas, operating theatre and simulation suite all of which can be customised to the needs of the user.

Your interest in pursuing and developing a specialist interest outside of acute medicine will be fully supported. The Trust is fully committed to supporting the requirements for continuing education and professional development as laid down by the Royal Colleges. A personal development review will be undertaken to discuss any needs and on-going training once you join the team.
