The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Emergency Department is like any four year old. Energetic. Ambitious. Awake at all hours. Changing every day.


Since starting our journey the Emergency Department team of Scotland’s showpiece hospital have been evolving, developing an enviable research portfolio under our EMQUIRE umbrella, with a focus on Quality Improvement, Education and leading innovation projects.


We are seeking a passionate, driven, talented doctor with experience in Emergency Medicine. This post presents an exciting opportunity to further develop skills in the exciting specialty of Emergency Medicine and to join our team as we develop into the West of Scotland Major Trauma Centre.


The Emergency Department of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) is the most modern facility of its kind in the UK. A purpose built state of the art Trauma and Medical Emergency Unit led by a team of passionate, dedicated medical and nursing staff delivering the highest possible standards of care.

 

The ED serves a mixed population with considerable health challenges and provides a full spectrum of Trauma and Non-Trauma Emergency Care. The workload of the QEUH will be approximately 110,000 new adult patients per year with tertiary referrals for major trauma as well as head, spinal, maxillofacial and vascular injuries. The hospital includes the regional centres for neurology, vascular and renal medicine. QEUH is the first hospital in Scotland to have a rooftop helipad suitable for air ambulance and Search and Rescue helicopters with dedicated high speed lift access to the ED.

 

The ED is staffed by a team of Emergency Medicine consultants working an extended shift pattern, middle grade doctors providing 24-hour cover and junior medical staff. The department has a special interest in Trauma management and critical care and works closely with our colleagues in Intensive Care, Surgery, Orthopaedic Trauma and a full range of inpatient specialists. A brand new imaging suite is adjacent to the ED with 2 CT scanners available for emergency work. The hospital also boasts a brand new lab building connected to the main hospital by a pneumatic pod system.

 

The QEUH ED brings together clinicians with a proven track record of innovation, excellence in teaching (Regional awards over last 4 years), research and quality improvement. There is a comprehensive package of induction training as well as twice weekly protected teaching throughout the year.


The post will attract a basic payment of 10 programmed activities with up to 2 additional programmed activities being available. This can be discussed fully prior to and at time of interview.
