Job overview

Do you love working as a consultant in Emergency Medicine?

Ever fancied living on the beautiful south coast?

If the answer to the above 2 questions is yes, then University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) may be able to help

We are looking for 3 substantive consultants in Emergency Medicine to work at UHD - just a stone’s throw from the glorious blue flag beaches of Bournemouth and Poole (we know we're biased).

These posts would initially be based at the Poole Site, the designated Trauma Unit and paediatric unit for east Dorset, ahead of the big move into the BEACH Building in December 2025.

If selected you will be working alongside a vibrant, dedicated and passionate team across both sites and you will have the opportunity to be involved in developing the future service if interested.

If you are interested and want to know more, I can be directly contacted via [email protected] or by calling my secretary on 0300 019 2815 to arrange a chat.

Main duties of the job

The role will involve seeing and assessing all presentations of adults and children with life threatening injury or illness.

Key clinical responsibilities include:

  • Provide Consultant led care to all adult and paediatric patients presenting to the Emergency Department with serious illness or injury.
  • Lead the department when in the Emergency Physician In Charge (EPIC) role.
  • Support and supervision of a large body of resident doctors, whilst in training programmes or trust grade posts.
  • Poole Hospital is currently the designated Major Trauma Unit for east Dorset, consultants working at the Poole site are responsible for leading the major trauma team.
  • Poole Hospital is also the designated paediatric site, receiving all paediatric ambulance transfers from the community.
  • Take part in the on-call rota - which can be off site provided you can return to the department within 30 minutes when required eg Level 1 Trauma Call. On site accommodation is available for those living more than 30 minutes away.
  • Adults and children with significant head injuries requiring inpatient care are currently admitted under and managed by the Emergency Medicine consultants, training and supervision for consultants new to this role is provided. This role is set to stop with the final move into the BEACH building.
