• Actively participate in both departmental & Trust matters concerning Clinical Governance & audit

As a trusted organisation at the heart of our communities, we recognise the important role we can play in supporting the public, patients, our own people and local partners in achieving the best of health for the local population and the communities in which they live by providing Exceptional Care Together

This post is Full Time but any candidate who wishes to work less than full time will be considered and supported, taking into account service needs.

As a result of the Covid pandemic the Emergency Department at QHB has adapted to delivery high quality care to our patients across a number of areas, Red (high risk) Adult ED, Green (low risk) Adult ED and an integrated Paediatric stream and Minor Injury zone.

The ED at QHB is a vibrant 24hr ED assessing and treating both Adults and Children.

The ED sits within the Acute Medicine Business Unit and therefore has extremely good relationships with Acute Medicine across the Acute Medical Unit and Short Stay, alongside Same Day Emergency Care.
