It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Urgent Treatment Centre
The Urgent Treatment Centre provides fast medical treatment and advice for patients which are urgent but do not require a visit to A&E. They can also be used when you are unable to wait for an appointment with your GP.
SDEC
SDEC is the provision of same day care for emergency patients who would otherwise be admitted to hospital. When a patient comes to hospital, an SDEC service means patients with various medical concerns can be assessed, diagnosed, treated, and safely discharged home the same day, rather than being admitted. Some of these patients may need to be admitted or return the next day for further treatment.
