Job responsibilities
Job Description
JOB TITLE: Consultant in Emergency Medicine
GRADE: Consultant
DEPARTMENT: Emergency Department
ACCOUNTABLE TO: Dr Sudhir Singh (Clinical Director for AMR)
Dr Larry Fitton (Divisional Director for MRC)
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES:
Clinical
The Emergency Department operates across two sites, the John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford (JRH) and the Horton General Hospital Banbury (HGH). Our primary objective is to provide top-tier patient care as locally as possible, tailored to each patient's unique needs. Certain specialised pathways, such as those for hyper-acute stroke, acute myocardial infarction, major trauma, and surgery, leverage the advanced capabilities available at the JRH. Patients presenting at the HH with these conditions receive immediate emergency assessment, stabilisation, and transfer when necessary. At the JRH, specialized resident teams administer stroke thrombolysis and coronary angioplasty, highlighting our commitment to excellence in care.
The JRH is the central hub of the Thames Valley Trauma Network and the Emergency Department for the surrounding population. Recent estate enhancements have equipped us with a state-of-the-art facility, including a new Ambulatory and Trolley Assessment Area, an expanded Paediatric department, and a cutting-edge 9-bed Resuscitation Area. This area boasts adjacent CT scanning facilities, a shock suite, a dedicated paediatric room, and isolation facilities.
We are actively seeking senior medical professionals who are leaders in clinical practice, teaching, research, and service development. We invite enthusiastic individuals who can contribute their expertise to address the unique challenges we face locally. Applicants are encouraged to share their professional interests, whether in teaching, training, service development, or specific clinical areas like Trauma care or Paediatrics. We highly value those with a deeper experience in these areas, including dual accreditation, as well as individuals with a high level of versatile capability.
OUH ED is deeply committed to aligning the workforce with patient needs, with a firm commitment to providing sustainable 24/7 services. Consultant rota patterns will naturally evolve over time, which may entail the introduction of consultant night shifts. Any shift pattern adjustments will be made collaboratively with the workforce, guided by a comprehensive departmental approach and adherence to RCEM (Royal College of Emergency Medicine) recommendations.
Upon implementation, we will transition to a comprehensive 24/7 rostered working pattern, incorporating onsite consultant night shifts. Our commitment to delivering exceptional emergency care extends to a round-the-clock presence, ensuring the highest standards of care and support for our patients.
