Successful candidates will be fully supported to gain the experience and competencies needed to progress through a CESR application, which would allow them to become a future Consultant in Acute Medicine.

UHD has Acute Medical Units (AMU) on both the Royal Bournemouth Hospital (RBH) site and the Poole Hospital site and medical takes will continue each site over the next 2 years. The Acute Medicine Directorate at UHD have seen rapid change and improvement in their SDEC (Same Day Emergency Care) models over the last year and now with new investment are looking to build on this and progress our transformation journey towards the Major Emergency Site model that was agreed in the Dorset Clinical Services review. With additional recruitment of more senior Doctors to the existing team of 14 Consultants, we are looking to progress our development towards 12 hours a day, 7 days a week SDEC provision.
