University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) invites applications for full-time, permanent Specialty Doctor posts in Emergency Medicine, working across Poole Hospital and the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.
The successful candidate will be a Senior Decision Maker (SDM) within the Emergency Department, responsible for complex clinical decisions, supervision of junior staff, and leading the department during night shifts when no consultant is present.
This is a 10 PA post: 8.5 Direct Clinical Care (DCC) and 1.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPA). The Trust can provide a Certificate of Sponsorship for Tier 2 visa applicants, and overseas EM experience will be recognised when determining the starting point on the Specialty Doctor pay scale.
UHD has a strong history of supporting doctors through CESR, with many progressing to substantive consultant roles. Successful applicants may join a structured CESR programme, which includes tailored development plans, rotations in key acute specialties (Critical Care, Anaesthetics, Acute Medicine, Paediatrics), and mentorship from CESR-qualified consultants. Participation is optional for candidates choosing to pursue training routes instead.
Following the merger of Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch Hospitals, UHD now operates Emergency Departments on both main sites.
