Trust Doctor (equivalent to ST3+) in Pre-Hospital Care

Overview

We are looking to appoint a Trust Doctor for a period of 6 months starting in 2027. Our prehospital service is provided by Barts Health NHS Trust in partnership with London’s Air Ambulance charity and the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust. Clinical governance, leadership and support are provided by Barts Health, which is responsible for the doctors. Paramedics are provided by the London Ambulance Service and receive specialist training prior to undertaking their duties. London’s Air Ambulance charity delivers the helicopter and rapid response car assets and supports the infrastructure that enables high‑quality care to patients.

Team and Clinician Roles

Our doctor–paramedic team responds to major trauma patients within the Greater London area, by helicopter during daylight hours and using rapid response cars during the hours of darkness.

Senior Fellow Opportunity

We are looking to appoint one part‑time Senior Fellow for a period of 12 months starting immediately. These Senior Fellows will predominantly cover the night shifts (Medic 2) around Clinical Governance Days each month as well as other unfilled shifts. This position is ONLY open to individuals who have completed a HEMS Fellow secondment within the last 12 months.

Mission and Research

Our mission is to save more lives in London through rapid response and outstanding care, underpinned by our values and a high performing culture. We have a program of digital transformation underway, heavily supported by all partner organisations. We also have an active research program, including randomised controlled trials and studies of lifesaving techniques such as REBOA and ECMO.
