As a Trust we are actively involved in developing the training program for students from the Three Counties Medical School based in Worcester which opened in September 2023.

Main duties of the job
As part of the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Cross-County Emergency Medicine Directorate, you will have the opportunity to work at both Worcestershire Royal Hospital and the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch. You will be joining us at an exciting time as both our departments have seen significant investment to improve facilities for patients and rest and training facilities for staff. Summer 2023 will see the opening of a multi-million-pound state-of-the-art Urgent and Emergency Care centre on the Worcestershire Royal Hospital site, with co-located EM, Acute Medicine, Radiology and SDEC services to transform our activity.
Situated between the calm tranquillity of the Malvern Hills and the hustle-and-bustle of Birmingham City Centre, Redditch offers the best of both worlds. You could be a short distance away from beautiful countryside for outdoor pursuits, or a short distance away from dining at Michelin-starred restaurants or visiting the many theatres, museums and music venues of Birmingham.
Nearby towns such as Bromsgrove have schools rated as being Outstanding by Ofsted for those who are already raising young families, or those who are just about to embark on that lifelong journey.
If you want something supportive, sustainable and geared towards delivering quality, innovative patient care, choose Worcestershire, Where Our People Matter.

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.
