The Hospital and the Emergency department:

Our two Emergency Departments (EDs) are located mainly over two hospitals. There is also an urgent treatment centre in a separate hospital. We may need every member of our medical staff to provide care to patients at all three locations. Clinically speaking, these positions will take part in the cross-site Tier 2 rota that facilitates the provision of round-the-clock emergency medicine coverage. It will be required of the 9 DCC PA to work all shift patterns, including regular days, twilights, and nights.

The two hospitals host Emergency Departments (ED) and offer a wide range of medical specialties, including surgery, orthopaedics, oncology, maternal care and paediatrics. The hospitals are equipped with advanced facilities and a skilled medical team, providing high-quality care to patients across the region. The Urgent Treatment Centre provides urgent care services to residents in nearby areas. While not a full hospital, it offers prompt medical attention for non-life-threatening conditions. Staffed with experienced healthcare professionals, the centre ensures patients receive timely care closer to home.
