After a very competitive and successful Phase 1 with the appointment of 3 strong Consultant colleagues alongside 3 dedicated Emergency Nurse Practitioners and the 2 EGS middle grades, we are going out to Phase 3 appointments and are looking for 2 more consultant colleagues to join the team, to be visionary, to be a part of creating a centre of excellence from the outset. We have it all here, we just need you.

The EGS team will comprise of six new consultants, two new middle grades, five SCPs plus additional admin support staff. A team we believe will provide the foundation to drive forward evidence based emergency surgical care and create a cohesive unit with expertise in training and research. We need the right people for thiscreative, imaginative, collaborative and with dogged positivity
