GP Specialty Doctor in Emergency Medicine
At Glasgow Royal Infirmary Emergency Department we are excited to offer the opportunity for qualified General Practitioners to join our Emergency Team in the role of Specialty Doctor from January 2023. These posts provide the opportunity to extend your clinical practice to Secondary Care within the fixed structure of a 2.5 PA job planned role.
GRI ED has employed GPs in specialty doctor roles for many years. We recognise the significant benefits of the clinical experience gained in Primary Care and how readily this translates to Unscheduled Care in a hospital setting.
The Emergency Department at Glasgow Royal Infirmary is a dynamic, fast-paced clinical environment, providing care for a diverse city population ranging from those who live and work in the culturally vibrant centre to those living with the socio-economic challenges of the largest city in Scotland. We deliver consultant led care 7 days a week until midnight and beyond (with a mix of overnight resident consultant cover and enhanced middle grade cover) within an environment of continuous learning for the entire team. We have a 11 strong middle grade tier, a highly experienced cadre of nursing colleagues (many of whom are dual qualified as ENPs) and 30 doctors on our junior rota. The clinical team manage approximately 98,000 new presentations per year.
Our Emergency Department is one of the busiest departments in Scotland. The ED comprises a 6 bed Resuscitation Room, 29 bed Majors hub, and a Minor Injuries area. We manage a diverse and varied caseload from major trauma associated with a large city, acute medical and surgical presentations, through to minor injuries. We have been the principal receiving hospital in 3 recent major incidents and have well-rehearsed procedures for dealing with multiple casualties.
The department consistently delivers a high standard of clinical learning, recognised by National and Local Teaching Excellence Awards over the previous five years. We have developed our education programme to involve the entire clinical team, have introduced simulation training and employ clinical teaching fellows to support our junior medical and undergraduate education programme.
Applicants must have full GMC Registration and a license to practise, post foundation training. Non-UK applicants must demonstrate equivalent training.
