About the Role
The Emergency Department at Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is a dynamic, forward-thinking, busy department with a strong focus on education, training, and research. We currently see approximately 140,000 patients per year with a good case mix of critical care, majors, minor injuries, and primary care patients. A £12 million rebuild in 2016 has resulted in a fit-for-purpose, light, and airy department with an aesthetic design which is appreciated by patients and creates an attractive working environment for staff.
Applicants are invited to join our dynamic team of 17 Consultants and 52 resident EM doctors.
Responsibilities
Successful candidates will be working on a full rota with regional higher speciality trainees and clinical fellows with special interests in research, ultrasound, sports medicine, and simulation. We encourage self-rostering, and the rota incorporates CPD days (8 hours per week pro rata) and study leave opportunities. Our previous clinical fellows have been well supported clinically and academically and have successfully managed to join the ACCS or Higher Speciality EM training, or to obtain a CESR in Emergency Medicine.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
The main service commitments of Senior Clinical Fellows will be, under the supervision of the Consultants, to supervise the FY2s and resident doctors, as well as doing 'hands-on' work alongside the other middle grades. The department has initiated new patterns of working to achieve the current targets, and integral within these are the ‘lead middle grade', ‘resus lead’, and ‘rapid assessment team’ which are roles undertaken by the middle grade doctors within the department.
The middle grade would also be expected to run the daily review clinic. The Consultants are very committed to teaching and post-graduate training and will ensure appropriate opportunities for professional development. The appointee will be expected to already have or to have obtained during the course of the appointment certificates in ATLS and ALS. Most of the Consultants are Instructors on these courses.
