JOB SUMMARY

THE POST

We wish to appoint additional consultants in Emergency Medicine to our Trust, representing a combination of existing vacancies and a planned expansion of consultant numbers. These posts are substantive appointments. A specialist interest would be welcomed.

The post is based at Royal Blackburn Hospital but the post holder may be required to work at other sites. If a consultant wishes to carry out on-call work from home, there is a requirement to live within 30 minutes of the Royal Blackburn Hospital.

The post holder would be expected to provide clinical leadership within the department, as well as specialist emergency medicine expertise. The department prides itself on good governance and a philosophy of continuous improvement to which consultants are expected to contribute.

Applicants should have completed higher training in Emergency Medicine and would either be on the specialist register or within 6 months of entry.

Location

The Emergency Department itself was commissioned in 2006, and became operational in July 2006. There has been substantial ongoing capital investment into the Emergency Department, including a £1.5 million refurbishment in 2012 to develop a dedicated paediatric area and expanded 8-bed resuscitation facility on the Royal Blackburn site. There has been a multi-million pound redevelopment of the Urgent Care Centre at Burnley, which is a new building completed in 2014.
Most recently, there has been capital investment in new monitoring within the main Emergency Department.

The principal location for the department is the Royal Blackburn Hospital, at which there is the main Emergency Department, and an associated Urgent Treatment Centre - the latter effectively representing the ambulatory area of the department.
