Job description
Job responsibilities
The
Emergency Medicine Service is delivered on two sites within the Trust with the
Pinderfields hospital site designated as a Major Trauma Unit, Dewsbury is a
local ED and Pontefract was one of the first Urgent Treatment Centres in
England. Our multi-disciplinary team of dedicated and committed professionals
provide high quality care and treatment in what is, when combined across the
three hospitals, consistently ranked as one of the top five busiest Urgent and Emergency
Medicine services in England handling around 250,000 attendances each year.
The
majority of our Consultant team have developed special interests and have been
given the time to chase their own passions and interests. This allows them to really support our
clinical fellows in developing their own special interests as theyve already
been there.
Outlined
below are some of the things we are proud of as a service:
We are an Associate
Teaching Hospital and have won national awards for the quality of our
undergraduate Emergency Medicine teaching programme.
Were
closely involved in the West Yorkshire Acceleration Zone looking at trialling
different projects to improve our Emergency Care Standard performance.
Were part
of the MERIT programme and take part in regular exercises to practise dealing
with major incidents. The last one involved setting up an Advanced Casualty
Clearing Station (ACCS) close to a major shopping centre as part of an exercise
looking at emergency response for a terrorist incident. Ours is the only region
in the country, which has a MERIT response like this, meaning we are one of
only five acute trusts in the country, which undertakes these types of response
and sends a team to an ACCS. We do incident training every three years in terms
of live exercising and all the ED staff get the opportunity to do a table-top
exercise each year.
The Trust
has spent the last three years reconfiguring services across its hospitals
Pinderfields, Dewsbury and Pontefract one of the largest reconfiguration
projects in the country.
Weve been
involved in the first few of an ongoing series of Rapid Process Improvement
Workshops (RPIW). These have been instigated as part of a new Quality
Improvement Process for the Trust and they are based on the world-renowned
Virginia Mason lean production methodologies.
We have a great
track record in developing our doctors and providing robust educational opportunities
for all staff within the service.
