The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Consultant in Emergency Medicine to join a forward-thinking Emergency Department within a leading NHS Trust in North Cumbria. This role offers the chance to work across multiple hospital sites in a region that provides a diverse clinical caseload, including major trauma, complex medical cases, and paediatric emergencies.

The successful consultant will play a key role in delivering high-quality emergency care while contributing to the continuous improvement and development of the service. There is a strong emphasis on collaborative working, medical education, and service leadership. The post is well-suited for candidates looking to develop a sub-specialty interest alongside their clinical duties.

It’s an area renowned for its stunning scenery, outdoor lifestyle, and welcoming communities, with convenient access to regional transport links.

The Hospital

The Emergency Medicine team operates across two key hospital sites within the Trust, delivering consultant-led emergency care to a varied patient population. The departments are well-supported by excellent diagnostic facilities, integrated trauma services, and established pathways for specialist referrals. The hospitals are fully engaged with national clinical standards and are actively involved in medical education, supporting both undergraduate and postgraduate trainees.

The consultant body is a cohesive and supportive team committed to innovation, clinical excellence, and mentorship. The Trust encourages the development of special interests, quality improvement projects, and leadership opportunities, with protected time allocated for non-clinical activities.

Why This Role?

• Work within a well-respected, supportive emergency medicine team
• Exposure to a broad clinical case mix across two busy emergency departments
• Dedicated time for supporting professional activities and career development
• Opportunities to pursue sub-specialty interests and contribute to medical education
