Accident and Emergency Locum Jobs
Accident and Emergency Locum positions involve acute patient care and in most hospitals operate 24 hours a day, although staffing levels may be varied in an attempt to mirror patient volume.
Patients present without an appointment or by ambulance. The Accident and Emergency Department is usually at the entrance to the hospital and will have a reception area operating a triage system to prioritise patients' order of care.
Triage in this sense means the department will have a dedicated area to assess patients before moving them to a more appropriate room for their treatment.
Due to the unplanned nature of patient numbers, locum doctors working in A & E must be prepared to meet all eventualities and provide the initial medical care for a broad spectrum of injuries and illness from minor to life threatening.
Many doctors rotate through the emergency department during their second foundation year (F2), or as part of a rotational specialty training programme in General Practice or Emergency Medicine.
