Job summary
Interview Date: 19th March 2025
This exciting opportunity is designed for doctors to develop experience in Emergency Medicine (EM) whilst pursuing a funded Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Ultrasound at the University of Teesside. Clinical experience afforded aligns to the objectives and curriculum of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. Successful applicants will be working alongside the existing tier of EM Junior trainees and would spend 80% of their time working in the Emergency Department and 20% of their time completing the Postgraduate Certificate which provides ultrasound skills in Core Emergency Medicine equivalent to a Level 1 course as well as the opportunity to pursue additional clinical modules such as shock/echo or hepato-bilary/renal ultrasound.
Main duties of the job
The Trust has Emergency Departments at both Sunderland Royal Hospital and South Tyneside Hospital with the department at Sunderland benefiting from 24/7 middle grade presence and 16 hours of ED consultant supervision, 7 days per week. There is a well-established programme for induction as well as Emergency Clinical Practitioner, Junior Doctor and Middle Grade teaching programmes. Each department has access to Point of Care Ultrasound machines as well as high fidelity simulation and training equipment. Clinical working time will be a combination of day, late and night shifts as well as weekend working. Applicants will need to have an interest in pursuing a career in an acute care specialty, have completed a minimum of 4-month experience in Emergency Medicine and hold a valid I/ALS. While prior experience with point of care ultrasound is desirable it is not mandatory and successful applicants will require motivation to self-direct completion of the Postgraduate Certificate. Salary will be dependent on skills and experience.
Start date Provisionally: 1st August 2025

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.
