Detailed job description and main responsibilities

We have clearly set out in our job description and person specification the essential criteria for the roles (please see below). You will be expected to meet all of the essential criteria in order to move to the shortlisting stage of the recruitment process.

We apologise that, for this round of recruitment, we are unable to accept applications from candidates without NHS ED experience. Please note that a Clinical Attachment does not count as NHS experience. Therefore, applications listing only a Clinical Attachment as NHS experience will be rejected.

We are looking for applicants who meet the following criteria:

• At least 1 years experience in ED in the NHS at CT1/2 level

• ALS and ATLS qualifications
• MRCEM exam (full)
• You will have worked in an NHS medical role, with at least two years experience in the ED in an NHS acute Trust at CT3 or higher level
• IAC sign off

These are service posts so do not have educational approval, but you will be provided with excellent training and educational opportunities, tailored to meet your individual needs.

We expect that you will keep yourself up to date with current knowledge and practice, attend clinical meetings within the department and to participate in audit and in service training of other professionals.

Clinical Fellows in the Emergency Department can expect to:

• Build on previous experience and develop increased expertise in the identification, assessment and management of sick patients
• Gain experience and familiarity in identifying and managing a wide variety of medical conditions, with appropriated decision making around need for admission and discharge +/- primary care/specialty follow up

• Have opportunities to acquire additional skills such as fascia iliaca block, chest drain etc
• To enhance your communication skills with patients relatives and colleagues
• To keep up to date with mandatory training required for your role
• To participate in the annual appraisal process

We have successfully supported many doctors who have come to work with us to gain places on training programmes, just let us know if this is your aim and we'll do everything we can to help you get there. Alternatively if you would like a longer term trust post or to take the CESR training pathway with NUH, we are really happy to have these discussions with you too.

With regret, we are unable to accommodate any clinical attachments in the Emergency Department at NUH.
