About the Role
The Acute Medicine Department at UHD is seeking enthusiastic individuals to join our expanding and dynamic Acute Medicine team. These are middle grade level posts offered as specialty doctor contracts (10 PAs).
About the Team
We have a strong education and training ethos with a wealth of experience amongst our Consultant team in Senior Educator roles, locally, regionally, and nationally. We are committed to providing an enjoyable and supportive training environment. Successful candidates will be fully supported to gain the experience and competencies needed to progress through a Portfolio Pathway (CESR) application, which would allow them to become a future Consultant in Acute Medicine.
Department Overview
UHD has Acute Medical Units (AMU) on both the Royal Bournemouth Hospital (RBH) site and the Poole Hospital site, and medical takes will continue at each site over the next year. The Acute Medicine Department at UHD has seen rapid change and improvement in their SDEC (Same Day Emergency Care) models over the last year and now, with new investment, is looking to build on this and progress our transformation journey towards the Major Emergency Site model that was agreed in the Dorset Clinical Services review. With additional recruitment of more senior Doctors to the existing team of Consultants, we are looking to progress our development towards 12 hours a day, 7 days a week SDEC provision.
