Description

We are looking to welcome 3 new colleagues to join an enthusiastic, motivated and supportive team of 18 Consultant Emergency Physicians (13.5 WTE) dedicated to providing care that is patient-centred, safe and clinically effective.

You will work in the Emergency Department at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, which opened in 2012. The department has an annual attendance of 68000 with approximately 25% paediatrics.

As an EM consultant group, we believe strongly in providing a sustainable work/life balance. A PA is included for each on call. Clinical administration time has been factored in as per RCEM guidance.

There is a 24-hour middle grade rota filled with a mixture of Trainees from the South-East Scotland rotation, specialty doctors and clinical development fellows.

There are no plans for consultant nightshifts in the foreseeable future.

We perform well in key areas such as sepsis, stroke thrombolysis and trauma management. We have an excellent relationship and collaborate closely with all in-patient teams. As a department we are committed to teaching and providing a positive experience of EM to our junior doctors. Our trainees rate their experiences in Fife highly and this is recognised regionally and in GMC surveys.

Applicants who wish to arrange job plans to accommodate other professional interests are encouraged to apply.
