Job Overview
Applications are invited for Specialty Doctor posts within the Emergency Departments at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd and Wrexham Maelor Hospital, two of the major acute hospitals within Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
These exciting roles offer the opportunity to gain broad and varied experience across Emergency Medicine, Acute Medicine, and inpatient services, while working within supportive and experienced multidisciplinary teams. The posts will include ward-based responsibilities alongside participation in the Emergency Department and Acute Medical Unit out-of-hours rotas.
Successful candidates will be supported in their professional development and will benefit from excellent clinical exposure across a wide range of acute presentations. Whether you are looking to build on your emergency medicine experience, strengthen your portfolio, or explore future career pathways, these posts provide an excellent foundation for career progression.
We are committed to flexible and inclusive working, and alternative contract arrangements can be discussed at interview.
Main duties of the job
The duties of the Specialty Doctor in ED will be predominantly clinical. However, there will be involvement in the teaching and support of junior staff. The specialty doctor will be expected to make a full contribution to clinical governance and audit for which one session is allowed subject to ongoing appraisal. The post holder will be supported in their professional development, will gain excellent clinical experience, and would be especially but not exclusively of interest to anyone considering undertaking Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR). If required further experience in the allied specialties such as Paediatrics, Critical Care, Acute Medicine, etc. can be arranged.
