Then, consider joining our friendly, dynamic team based here at Newham University Hospital.

Newham University Hospital sees over 90,000 Emergency patients per year, with another 75,000 seen in a co-located Urgent Care Centre. There are Same Day Emergency Care Units within both the Adult and Paediatric departments, as well as an Ambulatory Medicine Unit for suitable adult patients run by the Medical Team.

Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will work across all areas of the department with dedicated clinical shifts within both the Adult and the Paediatric Emergency Department plus SPA time for both adult and paediatric areas of development, which can be tailored towards individual needs.
We are keen to ensure all our consultants are supported to develop, learn and maintain sub-specialty interests, e.g. Paediatric Emergency Medicine, Pre-Hospital and Community Emergency Medicine. Opportunities exist within the Trust for sessions working in the MTC plus sessions in Pre-Hospital Care as well as the Remote Emergency Access Co-ordination Hub (REACH) which provides virtual assessment of 999 referrals.
Paediatricians with sub-specialty training in PEM are also encouraged to apply and should contact Dr Claire Kirby, Clinical Lead for Paediatric Emergency Medicine to discuss this further.
