  Job summary

  We are looking for a motivated and committed individual to join a forward thinking organisation. Providing outstanding care, promoting health and wellbeing whilst continuously learning and improving are just some of our strategic objectives in our five year plan, with these in mind if you are looking for an exciting opportunity to join our friendly and supportive Emergency Department then look no further.

  Our Emergency Department performs well against the 4 hour wait target and is consistently in the top 20 Trust's nationally for this performance.

  We are a level 2 trauma unit and actively contribute to the regional trauma network. We also run a single front door model where we have a 24/7 co-located primary care service, where we stream circa 20% of attendances from ED to primary care. We have a fully integrated frailty and discharge service at our front door, including therapy and social care and a 7 day a week Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit. We have recently introduced a High Intensity Service User programme that is staffed by senior nurses with consultant input to work with patients who frequently attend ED.

  With plenty of teaching opportunities, we have regular cohorts of medical students who require training for critical illness and musculoskeletal modules. There is also the opportunity to teach ACP, ENP, MG, SpR, ACCS and junior trainees. We also run in-house ALS/ATLS/EPLS and Ultrasound courses that attract attendees from across the region

  Main duties of the job

  If successful you will be one of thirteen Emergency Department Consultants providing clinical services to the Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and surrounding areas in Nottinghamshire from two trust sites, King's Mill Hospital in Sutton-in-Ashfield and Newark Hospital in Newark.

  You would be joining a multi award winning team (HSJ Winner for Emergency Care in 2017, 1st place in the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, Improvement Project of the Year 2018, HSJ Patient Safety shortlist for the Best Partnership Solution for improving patient safety in 2019), who were graded as Outstanding for Leadership in the latest Care Quality Commission assessment in 2018. Consistently providing examples of best practice and excellence, the team is proud to have been featured in several NHSI and ECIST information videos.

  You will be fully supported in post working within a team where we have a full complement of substantive nursing staff and support services, with advanced clinical practitioners and emergency nurse practitioners. We fully support our doctors in training with a fully established junior medical workforce and have implemented a CESR programme for middle grades to grow our own workforce, which is almost at full establishment.

  About us

  Sherwood Forest Hospitals is situated close to the Derbyshire Peak District and Sherwood Forest. We are within easy reach of Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham being only 7 miles from the M1. A mainline rail service operates from Newark to London taking 1 hour 10 minutes.

  The Trust is engaged in proactively monitoring the flow of patients across our hospital sites to ensure the Emergency Department is able to meet the four hour wait target and to ensure the quality of patient care.

  The Trust has developed and implemented, in partnership with Primary Care providers, a single front door system which includes a co-located primary care 24/7 which has reduced ED attendance by 20%. We have many services at the front door including a discharge support team, therapy services and frailty team. We have recently developed an ambulatory care service which has reduced the Trust admission rate by 18%.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
