Job overview

We are advertising for a Trust Registrar in Emergency Medicine based at the Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital site for Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We offer a friendly, supportive department, with a recently re-configured rota, designed to generate the best possible work – life balance and ensure that training and personal development needs are met.

There will be opportunities to attend weekly departmental teaching as well as access to relevant trust-wide training days. In addition, we provide 24hours every week of Consultant Clinical Educator time. This is dedicated shop floor time with a Consultant who provides shop floor training and assessments, enabling doctors to maintain evidence of training even when outside of a formally recognized training scheme. The post will be on a fixed term contract on our Basingstoke site.

Consultants are present on the shop floor from 8am to 10:30pm(Winchester), 8am to midnight( Basingstoke) on weekdays and from 11am to 8pm at weekends. The Middle Grade doctors play a highly valued and extremely important role in leading the clinical team when the Consultants are not present. Consequently, we are looking to attract somebody with the appropriate clinical and leadership skills and willing to train and work towards developing and refining these.
