Stand by, we'll show you...
The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is a Teaching Hospital based in the historic cathedral city of Exeter in the heart of the South West of England. As such it enjoys a wealth of sporting and cultural resources along with access to the many beaches of Devon and Cornwall and the open moorland of Exmoor and Dartmoor. Excellent surf can be reached within an hour at Bantham in South Devon, or Croyde in North Devon, with high class wind-surfing and kite surfing at Exmouth, a mere 10 miles from the Emergency Department. Great opportunities are also on hand for mountain and road biking, sailing and a whole gamut of cultural experiences including music, theatre and arts.
Situated as it is on the motorway network, Exeter enjoys excellent travel links with the rest of the United Kingdom; Exeter is 2 hours from London by train and has an international airport serving Winter and Summer destinations throughout Europe with daily flights to both London and Manchester.
With a recent expansion in consultant numbers and commitment from the established incumbents we have developed a young, committed, enthusiastic and forward looking senior leadership team. This, combined with a Trust that has proved to be both stable and consistently supportive, makes the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital an enjoyable and fulfilling place to work. We strongly believe our Emergency Department provides a productive and rewarding environment, with a fully populated middle grade and junior rota testament to this.
The team gives extended shop floor consultant presence from 08:00 to 23:00, 365 days a year, with an additional supervising consultant in minors at least 5 days a week; this has helped us to perform well against the national four hour standard. Our focus is on the provision of high quality care to patients in line with the recommendations of the Francis report and new appointments would be expected to provide not only excellent clinical care but also share the ethos of improving patient experience in the ED.
The department has a flourishing and forward thinking academic unit, recognised by the UEMS, with a growing national profile. The unit boasts a portfolio of national, international and commercial NIHR supported research. This has earned the academic team a number of local and regional awards. In recent years the academic department have notched up over 25 publications with widespread contribution from the clinical team, covering an extensive range of emergency medicine topics. The hospital is the principle hospital of the University of Exeter Medical School (UEMS) and there will be opportunities to participate in formal teaching activities. Additionally CME/CPD activities will be encouraged & supported financially. There is an accredited ultrasound trainer in the department and a keen drive to expand this area of practice. The hospital participates in the national Trauma Audit Research Network (TARN) and is an accredited major trauma unit.
