York Emergency Department is currently undergoing an exciting £18 million development to offer high quality modern facilities designed to create the best care for our patients.

The development will see the creation of a new Emergency Floor, incorporating the Emergency Department & Emergency Assessment Unit - including a modern 8 bay resus area. The Emergency Floor will be operating under a new clinical model, focusing on up front senior assessment and specialty review ensuring patients receive timely emergency care and early specialty review. This new clinical model provides exciting opportunities for Doctors at ST3 level to receive a high level of support senior colleagues whilst being given the exposure to a wide range of Emergency Medicine presentations.

We welcome candidates who have started a career in Emergency Medicine and would like to develop further. The Higher Trust Grade post offers and exciting opportunity to obtain further experience to continue a successful career in the specialty.

Plans are in place to move to self-rostering in 2023, offering our doctors greater flexibility and choice, enabling greater control over their rosters and allowing improvement in individuals work-life balance. The current Rota is a 15-week rolling Rota consisting of day, evening & night shifts.

We have a great team consisting of Trust grade tier doctors, deanery rotations (FY1, FY2, ST1-ST6, ACCS, GPSTR and Junior Clinical Fellows) plus specialty doctors, associate specialists, and consultants. We also have a fantastic team of EMP's & ACP's.

You will have excellent shop floor support from enthusiastic senior and middle grade doctors and the Rota is carefully designed to minimise fatigue, with night shifts being a maximum of four shifts in a row and nearly all day shifts are capped at 8 hours.

As part of the development of a new ED, along with that comes the implementation of a new clinical model, focussing on up front senior assessment in the Emergency Department. As a higher trust grade doctor, you will be working in a small assessment team consisting of a middle-grade doctor, a trust grade doctor, a nurse and a HCA. This model provides an exciting opportunity for intensive support from senior colleagues.

Whilst the posts available do not form part of the formal training programme, we endeavour to offer post holders the same training and educational opportunities as colleagues in training, including paid study leave. You will be provided with clinical and educational supervision, to enable your personal and portfolio development. There is an active Postgraduate Medical Education Centre on both sites, as part of a dynamic Education and Training directorate, which is developing multi-professional training.
