In addition, we will provide an additional protected 4 hours per week CPD to pursue an interest of your choice. This is flexible, but may include Ultrasound, Simulation, Teaching, Frailty, Trauma, Anaesthetics or Paediatrics.

We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, in addition to our state-of-the-art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England. We also care for people in their homes and provide services from facilities in local communities such as health centres. We give people greater choice and control over their care to help them to live independently at home and avoid hospital admission where appropriate. High quality patient care is at the heart of everything we do and we strive to ensure every single patient and service user has an exceptional experience with us. We have one of the most extensive patient experience programmes of any trust in England.

The successful candidates will work with a team of twenty eight consultant emergency physicians and five permanent specialty doctors across Northumbria Healthcare Trust, as well as a large team of doctors in training at all levels. We also have a team of Emergency Nurse Practitioners who help deliver the minors service across all sites.
