Blackburn, United Kingdom East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

This role is as a Junior Clinical Fellow in Emergency Medicine in one of the busiest and most varied Emergency Departments in the UK. As such you will work in both the Emergency Department which comprises adult and Paediatric areas and the Urgent Care Centre. As such you will have the opportunity to assess unwell and injured adult and paediatric patients, come up with an initial management plan and arrange onward disposal of the patient. The department has Consultant cover up until the early hours of the morning and Middle Grade cover 24 hours per day, so you are well supported. It is the ideal job for someone who wishes to just have a taster of Emergency Medicine prior to doing something else, or those committed to a career in the specialty. It is also a post suitable for those medical staff who haven’t worked in the UK or NHS before as it is so well supported.

The main duty of the role is the initial assessment of adult and paediatric patients and the implementation of a management plan. There is an expectation that most cases that you assess will be discussed with a Consultant or Middle Grade doctor to confirm your plan. You will work in the Emergency Department assessing the patients in the resuscitation and majors areas of the department, the Paediatric area and the Urgent Treatment Centre where patients with minor injuries and illnesses are assessed so you gain experience in assessing a wide variety of undifferentiated patients. There is also the opportunity to learn new clinical skills such as fascia-iliaca block, suturing, local anaesthetic administration, fracture and dislocation manipulation. There is weekly departmental teaching and you get dedicated self-directed learning time for 8 hours every other week to aid your career development by doing things such as supervised quality improvement projects.
