Whether you are a post-CCT doctor, approaching completion of training, or seeking a year of focused professional development, these posts provide an excellent opportunity to enhance your Emergency Medicine career within one of the region's most innovative Emergency Departments.

Each post includes approximately 25% protected non-clinical time, allowing you to pursue areas of interest and build valuable skills that complement clinical practice.

Opportunities may include:

1. Completing a Certificate in Medical/Postgraduate Education

2. Simulation-based education

3. Quality improvement and patient safety projects

4. Clinical research and academic development

5. Expedition medicine

6. Development of specialist Emergency Medicine interests

7. Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) Fellowship working alongside LIVES (Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service)

We are keen to support innovative proposals and welcome applications from candidates with a clear vision for how they would like to utilise their protected development time.

For applicants with an interest in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine, there is an exciting opportunity to undertake a dedicated fellowship in collaboration with LIVES. This unique experience offers exposure to pre-hospital care, emergency response and multidisciplinary working in challenging environments. Candidates applying for the PHEM Fellowship will be required to attend an interview process with LIVES alongside the UHDB selection process.

As a trusted organisation at the heart of our communities, we recognise the important role we can play in supporting the public, patients, our own people and local partners in achieving the best of health for the local population and the communities in which they live by providing Exceptional Care Together

Our fundamental Values of Compassion, Openness and Excellence underpin how we intend to work as a Trust and the associated behaviours are becoming embedded in all aspects of how we work.

In return we will offer:

• Development opportunities, including both professional and leadership development

• On-going support through every step of the way from recruitment to when you join our team and beyond.

• A variety of other staff benefits including employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership, onsite fitness classes, car schemes

Key Facts about our Trust:

• We see on average 4810 OP appointments per day.

• We are the 4th busiest Trauma & Orthopaedic outpatients department in England – an average of 2077 per week.

• An average of 1115 patients are seen in A&Es across our network every day – 3rd largest in the country.

• Our hospitals admit an average of 195 emergency patients daily.

• Last year we undertook almost 33,700 planned surgical operations in our 57 operating theatres.

• We are one of only 7 Trusts nationally with more than 50 operating theatres.

• We carry out more than 140 elective procedures each working day.

The ED has 24/7 middle grade clinical cover & extended Consultant cover to 8am-2am 7 days per week. Post-holders in this grade will participate in the Tier 4 rota and ideally shift leading out of hours. Duties within the Emergency Department will cover the whole range of clinical responsibility for both those patients seen in the Emergency Department and inpatients on our observation ward.

Clinical duties will include taking a lead role in the management of acutely ill or traumatised patients. The qualities of leadership required as head of an emergency team are stressed, and it is anticipated that these qualities will be developed through the process of supervision of more junior doctors and involvement in their education - both formal and informal.

The post holder will be expected to prioritise and time-manage effectively according to the activity of the department and to utilise appropriately the available senior staff for advice
