SUMMARY INFORMATION RELATING TO THIS POSITION
Post: Str lat/clinical fellow in emergency medicine & paediatric emergency medicine
Base:WEST OF SCOTLAND
This is an exciting time to join the teams in south Glasgow as we work towards the NewSouthGlasgowHospital and new Emergency Department in May 2015. We are offering 2 LAT posts in Emergency Medicine from CT3 level starting in August 2015, including 6 months in paediatric emergency medicine.
The West of Scotland has a unique blend of training departments combining busy urban locations with departments with substantial rural catchment areas. Rotations are organized by the Training Programme Director to give the trainee exposure to different types of department.
This programme involves placements in some or all of these Health Boards and hospitals:
AyrHospital, CrosshouseHospital, ForthValleyRoyalHospital, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, HairmyresHospital, InverclydeRoyalHospital, MonklandsHospital, RoyalAlexandraHospital, RoyalHospital for Children, SouthGlasgowHospital, and WishawHospital.
All trainees are encouraged to undertake audit and most departments are involved in research work as part of multi-centre trials. All departments have local teaching programmes for trainees.
In the West of Scotland, trainees can expect a young cohort of Trainers and Supervisors, who are clinically involved and focused on high quality training. Many are recently appointed and well placed to offer help and support with exam preparation.
In the summer of 2015 a new hospital opens on the present Southern General site in Glasgow. This is likely to become the largest Emergency Department in Scotland and will be the regional trauma centre for the West. In addition a new tertiary referral paediatric hospital (replacing the RoyalHospital for Sick Children) will also open on this site.
Higher Trainees may have the opportunity to undertake out of programme episodes such as paediatric subspecialty training or attachment to the Emergency Medicine Retrieval service.
