Trust Doctor (eqv to ST4+) in Emergency Medicine. Applications are invited for the post of Trust Doctor (eqv to ST4+) in Emergency Medicine based at Newham University Hospital. Applicants should have 4 or more years' Emergency Medicine or acute care experience and MRCEM (or equivalent), and be capable of working at ST4+ level which includes being in charge as a senior decision maker overnight (with consultant support off-site).

Initial 6‑month fixed‑term contract, up to 48 hours per week, working a mixture of day, late and night shifts on a 1:3 rota. We fully support requests for flexible and less‑than‑full‑time working. There is also the possibility of extension after August subject to funding. Due to the short‑term nature of the post and the requirement for a prompt start, this appointment is intended for applicants who are currently UK‑based.

Newham Hospital Emergency Department is seeking to appoint two Trust Grade Registrars (ST4 equivalent or above) to join a busy, high‑acuity inner‑city ED serving one of the most diverse and socio‑economically deprived populations in the UK. The department manages a high volume of undifferentiated, high‑risk and complex acute presentations, spanning major trauma, medical and surgical emergencies, infectious diseases, mental health crises and social vulnerability.

This role offers outstanding exposure to senior clinical decision‑making, leadership, and operational management, with Registrars frequently leading the department overnight in a consultant‑supported model. The post also provides experience across a wide range of Emergency Medicine services, including Same Day Emergency Care, the Clinical Decision Unit, Injuries and Paediatric Emergency Medicine, reflecting the breadth of modern emergency care delivery. You will join a supportive, well‑established team of Higher Specialty Trainees and CESR Registrars, in a department renowned for its welcoming culture, education, governance and service development.

The post includes opportunities for leadership, teaching, audit, quality improvement and research in a department committed to tackling health inequalities and improving outcomes for underserved communities.
