Acute Medicine at the RDUH is ambitious and dynamic with a clear focus of delivering quality care. This post will support our existing cohort to enable flexible working patterns and dedicated skill development time. We are especially keen to support people on or considering the CESR route.

The role will include working clinically in 3 distinct environments including:

• Same Day Emergency Care: Here you will manage patients acutely that can have their care completed in the same day; this includes procedures and investigations.
• Acute Medical Unit: You will have the take divided with another registrar to provide zones of care and mutual support. There is direct consultant presence from 8am to 10pm.
• Ambulatory Care: This is where patient follow-ups and ongoing procedures occur. It is an ideal environment to develop outpatient and practical skills.

We deliver a wide range of emergency, specialist and general medical services through North Devon District Hospital and the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford).

Alongside our two acute hospitals, we provide integrated health and social care services across a variety of settings, including community inpatient hospitals, outpatient clinics, and within people's own homes. We also offer primary care services, a range of specialist community services, and Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARC).
