Fixed Term Contract for 12 months. Posts are available for an immediate start but alternative start dates may be accommodated.
The Emergency Department at Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is a dynamic, forward thinking, busy department with a strong focus on education, training and research. We currently see approximately 140,000 patients per year with a good case mix of critical care, majors, minor injuries and primary care patients. A £12 million rebuild in 2016 has resulted in a fit for purpose, light and airy department with an aesthetic design which is appreciated by patients and creates an attractive working environment for staff.
Applicants are invited to join our dynamic team of 17 Consultants and 52 resident EM doctors.
Successful candidates will be working on a full rota with regional higher speciality trainees and clinical fellows with special interests in research, ultrasound, sports medicine and simulation. We encourage self-rostering, and the rota incorporates CPD days (8 hours per week pro rata) and study leave opportunities. Our previous clinical fellows have been well supported clinically and academically and have successfully managed to join the ACCS or Higher Speciality EM training, or to obtain a CESR in Emergency Medicine.

The main service commitments of Senior Clinical Fellows will be, under the supervision of the Consultants, to supervise the FY2s and resident doctors, as well doing 'hands on' work alongside the other middle grades. The department has initiated new patterns of working to achieve the current targets and integral within these are the ‘lead middle grade' ‘resus lead’ and ‘rapid assessment team’ which are roles undertaken by the middle grade doctors within the department.
The middle grade would also be expected to run the daily review clinic. The Consultants are very committed to teaching and post-graduate training and will ensure appropriate opportunities for professional development. The appointee will be expected to already have or to have obtained during the course of the appointment certificates in ATLS and ALS. Most of the Consultants are Instructors on these courses.
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of England's top-performing and safest trusts. We operate two main acute hospital sites—Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital—along with award-winning clinics across North West London.
Our nearly 7,500 staff care for a diverse population of 1.5 million, providing full clinical services, including maternity, A&E, and children’s services, plus specialist HIV and sexual health clinics. The Care Quality Commission rates us 'Good' in safety, effectiveness, care, and responsiveness, and 'Outstanding' in leadership and resource use.
We continually invest in our facilities, including a £30m expansion of critical care at Chelsea and Westminster and an £80m Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre at West Middlesex.
We welcome applications for flexible working arrangements, accommodating requests where possible to support our staff and patient needs.
The Trust is committed to equality and welcomes applications from all, regardless of background. Adjustments can be made for disabled candidates. Early application is advised as vacancies may close once sufficient applications are received. If you haven’t heard from us within three weeks of the closing date, your application was likely unsuccessful. Employment is subject to a six-month probationary period.
