University Hospital Wishaw

Are you looking for your next career move, or a new challenge? 

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our well-established and dedicated Emergency Medicine Team delivering clinical care within a busy department seeing in excess of 80,000 attendances annually (25% Paediatric).

This post is available immediately and would be suitable for anyone wishing to join a flexible self-rostering Emergency Medicine middle grade rota. In addition, we would welcome any candidates who wish to follow the CESR pathway or apply for Emergency Medicine registrar training. Less than full time applicants welcome.

You will join a dynamic, closely integrated multi-disciplinary team delivering care in a busy department, where you will face a case-mix across all age ranges. University Hospital Wishaw is the Trauma Unit (within the Scottish Trauma Network) for Lanarkshire, seeing both adult and paediatric trauma. We have inpatient paediatrics (including neonatal unit) and trauma/orthopaedics in addition to a busy acute medical unit, surgical unit, intensive care and obstetrics & gynaecology. There is consultant shop floor presence from 0800-0000 seven days a week.

The University of Glasgow enjoys close links with NHS Lanarkshire, and our medical students benefit greatly from the excellent educational opportunities provided by the board in both primary and secondary care.

Lanarkshire offers the best of both worlds: a quiet county with excellent transport links putting it half an hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh and within easy travelling distance of all the Highlands has to offer.  You can enjoy an excellent quality of life which means you will find it easy to leave the challenges of the Emergency Department at work.   There is free onsite parking as well as free use of the onsite gym.

The Department are supportive of applications from individuals with well-developed ideas for improving services and those who are able to demonstrate a commitment to quality improvement, patient safety (including human factors training), medical education and research & development. We are committed to the training and development of the entire team and would support you in developing your own areas of interest. We have several consultants who have successfully navigated CESR who would support you in this if you wished to pursue this route.
