There will be opportunities to take part in Pre Hospital clinical governance, audit and research projects, training and educational courses as an attendee and as a faculty helper. Our Specialty Doctors work as part of a 24hr "Senior Decision Maker" (SDM) rota alongside Emergency Medicine Higher Specialist Trainees and RCEM Credentialed Senior Advanced Clinical Practitioners. You will work under the supervision of duty Consultants who are present on both sites between 0800-0000 and on-call thereafter.
