Locum Consultant In Emergency Medicine

We are seeking to appoint up to 4 WTE Fixed-Term Locum Consultants in Emergency Medicine to join our established consultant body. These posts are funded as we are transition to an increasingly Consultant delivered service.

The appointees will be integral members of the consultant team, contributing to the delivery of high-quality emergency care and supporting the service during a period of increased demand. A key focus of these posts will be to enhance senior consultant presence Monday to Friday evenings, ensuring timely decision-making, supporting patient flow, and maintaining safe, effective care during peak activity.

In addition to general Emergency Department duties, the postholders will also undertake initial assessment of patients arriving in our streaming hub, providing rapid senior input at the earliest stage of the patient journey.

This is an exciting opportunity for experienced Emergency Medicine clinicians to contribute to strengthening senior medical cover during a period of exceptional demand, while working in a supportive and forward-looking consultant body.

The clinical work comprises the receipt, resuscitation, initial treatment, and diagnosis of undifferentiated emergency attendees presenting 24 hours per day to a modern Emergency Department. In these fixed-term roles, there will be a particular emphasis on providing enhanced senior consultant presence into weekday evenings (Monday-Friday), to support patient flow and safe decision-making at times of peak demand.
