Responsibilities and progression
- Depending on your level, you may begin working on our Tier 3 rota and in your first year you will aim to experience both adult and paediatric ED.
- After 12 months and a review of your achievements with the CESR Lead (including assessment of your capacity to work as a senior decision maker), we can progress you to the Tier 4 rota and start planning placements in other specialties.
- If you have achieved your IAC (anaesthesia rotation) elsewhere in the NHS and have been working in a Senior Clinical Fellow capacity, we can consider commencement on the Tier 4 rota (our registrar rota). Please note this in your application.
- Initially, we would offer a 1 year contract and after this time and a review we will look to offer a further 2 year contract extension and entry onto the CESR pathway. At NUH, you would be employed as a Junior or Senior Clinical Fellow for the first year to settle in and acclimatise to the busy department. Towards the end of this period, and after review and assessments, you may move into the CESR programme if mutually agreed.
- The CESR programme is expected to require around 4 years for completion. You will work through competencies to gain the necessary skills and knowledge and develop a portfolio of evidence to meet the Emergency Medicine CCT curriculum. Rotations will include Acute Medicine, Intensive Care, Anaesthesia, and Paediatric Emergency Medicine to enable you to acquire specialist knowledge and skills. In the ED you will work under the clinical direction of EM Consultants who are present in the department 24/7.
What the department offers
