The Emergency Medical Retrieval Service (EMRS) is seeking to recruit experienced trainees in emergency medicine, anaesthesia, or intensive care medicine to 3 month full-time posts commencing February 2010. The EMRS is a consultant-led, consultant-delivered service that seeks to bring advanced skills to critically ill patients in remote and rural areas of the West of Scotland, and to facilitate their safe and rapid transport to definitive care. The service currently serves 17 remote general practices, 13 rural community ('cottage') hospitals as well as three rural general hospitals along the west coast. The majority of this retrieval work is necessarily conducted by air transport and we have close links with the Scottish Ambulance Service air wing and local military 'search and rescue' assets. In addition, the service performs pre-hospital 'primary' missions (e.g. attending road traffic collisions) with the SAS helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS), with whom we are co-located at their city centre helipad. Permanent and retained registrars support the EMRS by providing a second team member to accompany the EMRS consultant on missions. The second team member contributes significantly to clinical and operational aspects of the work. There are numerous training opportunities within the post beyond the clinical aspects of aero-medical retrieval: trainees contribute importantly to non-clinical aspects of the work including service development, administration, governance, and significant event reporting and analysis. Educational and competency objectives are laid out in a curriculum which maps well to objectives in base speciality curricula. There is an active audit and research programme to which trainees are expected to contribute. Successful applicants will receive full induction to the service and appropriate training prior to commencing active duties with the service. Induction includes helicopter underwater escape training and orientation to the various aircraft the service utilises. The post is 'out of programme' and the successful applicant will be required to seek approval from the local training committee, deanery and PMETB. Historically this has always been successful and placements have been recognised for training toward the CCT in anaesthesia/emergency medicine.

For further information please call Dr Andrew Cadamy on 0141 211 1100 This will be a 3 month contract
