Consultant in Emergency Medicine

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s largest employers, with a wide ranging portfolio of specialty work and a strong academic record. In partnership with The University of Manchester and other collaborators we are rapidly making Manchester the centre of cutting-edge research to improve healthcare worldwide.

We are currently looking for an Emergency Medicine Consultant to join our fantastic team, assisting us in continuing to provide exceptional patient care whilst leading on cutting edge research and education in the Emergency Medicine field.

Clinical duties will involve senior leadership in the supervision and provision of the management and care of all acutely ill and injured patients. There is the expectation that duties will be shared with the current consultants and each consultant will share part of the workload across all sites. The nature of the post necessitates that Category II work may be undertaken, the arrangements for which will be agreed with the successful applicant on appointment.

Currently the department operates a system whereby all new patients attending on a particular day are nominally assigned to the consultant on-call for the day. Consultants are expected to undertake all immediate and subsequent administration relevant to the care of patients assigned in this way. The consultant will have responsibility for professional supervision and management of junior medical staff whilst on-call for the day.

In the spirit of continuing professional development this post can support a special interest that fits in with directorate and Trust objectives.

MFT is England’s largest NHS Trust with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our brand-new Electronic Patient Record system which we’ve launched in September 2022.

We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our new Green Plan which will set out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.

At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the ‘NHS England’ website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you
