Ready to test your emergency medicine skills in one of the busiest Emergency Departments in the country? Then Leicester could be for you... UHL is one of the largest teaching hospital trusts in the UK. The Emergency Department (ED) is based at Leicester Royal Infirmary where we see over 240,000 patients a year. The new emergency department was completed in April 2017. The new Emergency Department incorporates a 48 majors cubicles, a 12 cubicle Emergency Room and a separate Children's ED with 12 bedded Short Stay Paediatric Unit for children who are expected to stay less than 18 hours. The ED in Leicester has pioneered an annualised consultant rota which is increasingly being adopted in other centres. This offers personal flexibility, within a large committed team, time for sub-specialty interests in existing Consultants and support for others. Despite the clinical work pressures and challenges, our ED is a leading light nationally in Paediatric EM, EM Research, EM education and Geriatric EM and is actively developing a program in Pre-Hospital EM. Leicester offers the option of rural or city living, excellent state and private education, easy access to London by train (55min) and East Midlands airport (30min).

The Emergency Department rota is annualised therefore there is not a weekly pattern. Annual, professional and study leave is allocated as per new Consultant contract, and generates a shift total over rota cycles of 16 weeks. On call duties will be roughly 1:16 depending on vacancy factor, with up to 1:6 weekends as a minimum. The rota is based on our funded establishment of 31.32WTE Consultants.

If your initial location is based at one of these sites, excess travel reimbursement will not apply for a permanent/temporary change to base. All Consultants are expected to contribute to teaching and training of undergraduate students and postgraduate trainees as part of their role as a Consultant in UHL. Consultants will normally have undergraduate medical students placed with them during clinical duties and are expected to teach alongside clinical service work. Similarly, Consultants will normally be involved in clinical supervision of postgraduate trainees working within UHL. Medical students based at the University of Leicester follow a standard 5 year programme. The teaching of undergraduate students in UHL reflects the Divisional structure of the Trust. Undergraduate medical students are taught by UHL throughout the medical course from years 1 to 5. Both ward and outpatient based clinical teaching, as well as tutorial and lecture style teaching is undertaken. Some Consultants will choose to take on additional undergraduate and/or postgraduate education and training responsibilities.
