Consultant in Emergency Medicine 10 Programmed Activities (less than full time working is negotiable)
Two substantive posts
We are looking to welcome two new ED Consultant colleagues to our existing dynamic, well-motivated ED team. The successful candidate will join a forward-thinking department that is presently staffed by 14 consultants (not all work full-time and participate in the on-call rota), 18 Registrar grade doctors (ST4+ or equivalent), 18 CT1-3's or equivalent, 12 FY2 doctors and 3 FY1 doctors.
The successful candidate will work across all areas of the department, including majors, resus, paediatric ED, and the Urgent Treatment Centre run by the Trust. The on-call commitment covers the whole ED, so candidates must be trained in both adult and paediatric Emergency Medicine. While this is a general ED Consultant post, we welcome applications from colleagues who are PEM trained, and dedicated DCC time in our Paediatric Emergency Department is negotiable.
Croydon University Hospital is a large District General Hospital in South London with University status. The Trust is committed to providing the highest standards of care and treatment to the people in the Croydon area and is also fully committed to investing in new facilities, personnel, and equipment.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will work across all areas of the department, including majors, resus, paediatric ED, and the Urgent Treatment Centre run by the Trust. The on-call commitment covers the whole ED, so candidates must be trained in both adult and paediatric Emergency Medicine. While this is a general ED Consultant post, we welcome applications from colleagues who are PEM trained, and dedicated DCC time in our Paediatric Emergency Department is negotiable. Croydon ED has an excellent reputation for the training of both F2 and higher specialist trainees, evidenced by excellent feedback from previous GMC trainee surveys. It also benefits from being able to offer training in Emergency Medicine Ultrasound, as one of our consultants was previously the London Deanery Lead for this sub-specialty. About us
Croydon Health Services provides integrated NHS services to care for people at home, in schools, and health clinics across the borough, as well as at Croydon University Hospital and Purley War Memorial Hospital. CUH provides more than 100 specialist services and is home to the borough's only Emergency Department and 24/7 maternity services, including a labour ward, midwifery-led birth centre, and the Crocus home birthing team. Purley War Memorial Hospital (PWMH) in the south of the borough offers outpatient care, including diagnostic services, physiotherapy, and ophthalmology services run by Moorfields Eye Hospital, alongside an onsite GP surgery. Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals, and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon, and our Children's Hospital at Home cares for children with long-term conditions without them having to come to hospital. We are a very close-knit and friendly organisation where every one of our 3600 members of staff is valued. We strongly believe that our employees are our greatest asset. Job responsibilities
