from East Kent. It is our inspiration to develop into an

academic and research unit in emergency medicine for Kent.

The Emergency Departments, one at the William Harvey

the Queen Mother Hospital (QEQMH), Margate, each offer a

full 24 hour emergency service. The Emergency Departments

are supported by co-located Urgent Treatment Centres, a 24

community UTCs in the region

leadership and supervision of junior medical staff, ensuring the highest standards of clinical care are provided to all patients attending the ED.

the Trust. To liaise with clinicians and managers within and outside the department to address issues arising that affect the services.

Our package of benefits includes an additional payment to thank you for choosing to work at our trust and help you get settled in – like a contribution to your house deposit or new car.
