A Consultant in Emergency Medicine is required to join the existing team of Consultants at the Fairfield General Hospital. Post holders may, however, be required to work at any of the Trust sites if required.

Due to Covid and the zoning of the department it now consists of 5 resuscitation bays, 15 assessment bays / rooms, 2 rapid assessment bays and a dedicated room for patients with mental health needs.

There is also a dedicated paediatric area with separate triage room and three major cubicles.

2018 saw the opening of a dedicated same day emergency care facility, providing integrated urgent care services to the local population, with a dedicated ENPs, ANPs and primary care services.

The duty consultant will be expected to provide direct "shop floor" presence, being clinically involved in patients across all areas of the department and providing direct care to patients as well as leadership and supervision of other members of the clinical team.

2 hourly "quality rounds" are undertaken of all patients in the department to ensure that safety is maintained for patients requiring admission as well as those under review.
