The successful candidate would work at the MTC (University Hospital Wales, Cardiff) spending 70% of their time in hospital and 30% of their time on towards various aspects of Major Trauma. They will be joining a well-staffed and supportive hospital team containing 25 Consultants and 13 Registrars in Emergency Medicine. This is a unique opportunity to help build a system dedicated to improving emergency care in the vibrant city of Cardiff.
