Emergency Medicine in East Kent Hospitals
Emergency Medicine in East Kent Hospitals is at an exciting period of redevelopment, having attracted national investment to rebuild the Emergency Department at our William Harvey Hospital.
About Our Emergency Departments
Our Emergency Departments provide innovative and fast-paced integrated emergency care to a wide range of patients from East Kent. It is our inspiration to develop into an academic and research unit in emergency medicine for Kent. Each of our Emergency Departments offer a full 24-hour emergency service. The Emergency Departments are supported by co-located Urgent Treatment Centres, a 24-hour UTC at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital with a further 7 community UTCs in the region. In total, approximately 220,000 patients are seen annually across the Emergency Departments.
About the Role
To provide high-quality consultant-delivered care to patients including clinical leadership and supervision of junior medical staff, ensuring the highest standards of clinical care are provided to all patients attending the Emergency Department.
