NHS Grampian are looking to recruit a Specialty Doctor in Emergency Medicine to join our established team at a Major Trauma Centre based at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI). The team consists of roughly 10 WTE Consultants, an Associate Specialist, a Specialty Doctor, numerous training grade doctors and this expansion in Specialty Doctor numbers coincides with the recruitment of a further Consultant.
The successful applicant would join those training grade doctors at ST4 level or above in providing middle-grade level cover within the Emergency Department.
As Aberdeen Royal Infirmary hosts all major medical and surgical specialties there are opportunities for the successful applicant to develop their interests with other clinical teams. The department also provides cover to the Paediatric Emergency Department at the Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital (RACH) and has strong links with medical education and research through Aberdeen University. In addition the service also provides a pre-hospital rapid response service in collaboration with the Scottish Ambulance Service and there is the potential for successful candidates to gain experience within any of these areas.
