Triple West Medical have been appointed by an NHS organisation based in SW Scotland to help recruit a Specialty Doctor in Emergency Medicine for a substantive post, but will also consider a Locum Fixed Term Contract for 12 Months minimum.

The NHS Trust delivers integrated acute and community health services to a population of around 350,000 across multiple sites with over 8,000 staff.

The pathways cover a variety of conditions such as head injuries, anaphylaxis, post-sedation observation, acute intoxication and renal colic.
