Job overview

Come and join us in Bangor for a fabulous six or twelve months’ Emergency Medicine experience in a rural ED, with a fantastic reputation for junior doctor training. Please note that these posts are not the same as the Middle Grade Posts with PHEM, Global EM and Mountain Medicine options. 

We are happy to welcome doctors who wish to just have a taster of EM prior to doing something else, or those committed to a career in the specialty. Our team consists of 13 SHO-tier doctors (3 x F2, 2 x ACCS, 3 x GPST and 5 x Junior Clinical Fellows) plus an Academic F2; ten Clinical Fellows in EM/PHEM; 1 EM HST trainee; twelve Consultants; and two Associate Specialists/Specialist Grade doctors. We also have a team of fantastic ENPs and ACPs. 

This post is identical in every way to our deanery training posts: there’s protected teaching every Thursday afternoon within the ED, plus a variety of other junior doctor tutorials and teaching sessions. You will also have an educational supervisor to help you achieve your career aims. Plus, we can offer you up to 11 days personal development time to attend suitable training opportunities.

Main duties of the job

We are offering a Clinical Fellow (F3 post) in Emergency Medicine. This post is identical to our educationally-approved F2/ST1 level posts.

·           ALS, ATLS and EPALS courses are held in the hospital plus we give you sufficient study leave budget to fund the course

·           Weekly teaching in paid work time - four hours each week

·           For doctors interested in pre-hospital care, we are happy to arrange work experience placements with our Welsh Ambulance colleagues (must have undertaken a one-day V&A course)
