Consultants in Emergency Medicine
2 weeks ago
Cumbria is a unique place to work as a Consultant in Emergency Medicine We are a team of specialists who provide care to patients in big towns and cities as well as remote and rural communities of the Lake District. We place a strong focus on sustainable careers with a good work-life balance.
We are an innovative group of 13 Consultants (10.6 WTE) who pride ourselves in delivering the best for our patients. We have rapidly modernised the local provision of Emergency Medicine over the last few years and consistently sit within the top third of performing Trusts. We pride ourselves in being “shopfloor” Consultants accessible, friendly and hands-on.
Its proximity to the mountains of the Lake District and major trunk motorways ensure a regular influx of trauma patients. The unit is a trauma + unit in the Northern Trauma Network. We have admitting rites for Major trauma patients with chest and head injuries who do not require MTC level care. The department accepts patients from various helicopter emergency medical schemes and has its own landing pad
Your job will have variety and challenge delivering care between our two unique hospital sites. You will find a great balance of a busy extended Trauma Unit seeing a case mix of complex major trauma being distant from our Regional Major Trauma Centre and you will also work in a rural setting with the ability to develop extended clinical skills and lead an established composite workforce.
The Cumberland Infirmary site has annual footfall of approximately 55’000 pts per year (11,000 Paeds cases). The department has a co-located OOH GP service run by Cumbria Health On Call (CHOC). We run an active Clinical fellowship programme and our trainee ACP programme has received national acclaim. Three of the Consultants contribute to the NHS England Clinical Educator programme, and other Consultant interests include Paediatric Emergency Medicine, Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine and Education/Simulation.
At NCIC, we have an ambition to deliver outstanding hospital and health services to half a million people. Established on 1st October 2019, the Trust is creating a centre of excellence in providing rural and remote healthcare and provides a wide range of community and acute services throughout north Cumbria and beyond. We’re responsible for delivering over 70 services across 15 main locations and we employ more than 6,500 members of staff.
Our 5 key principles demonstrate our belief in the delivery of ‘safe, high quality care every time’.
- Being a clinically led organisation
- Quality and safety at the heart
- A positive patient experience every time
- A great place to work
- Managing our money well
