Job overview
This is an excellent opportunity to work in our Acute Medical Unit (AMU) and Medical Same Day Emergency Care Unit (SDEC) at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust (UHP). We are a tertiary referral centre for multiple medical and surgical specialities and we are linked with a tertiary trauma centre serving the South West population. You will be joining a team of 8 Consultants, 4-5 Acute Medicine Registrars, Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs), approximately 10-12 Core trainees and 6-8 Foundation trainees. We aspire to constantly improve our services and are focussed in excelling the patient journey. Our Medical Same Day Emergency Care Unit (SDEC) is well established with acute care pathways aiming to enhance our patient care and experience. It is a fantastic time to join Acute Medicine at UHP; as part of the first phase of our New Hospital programme, we have plans for a new Urgent and Emergency Care Centre incorporating a purpose built SDEC facility on our current site in the next 2-3 years.
