The department sees around 25,000 presentations per annum of which around 22% are admitted to hospital.

**About the Team/Service/ Location**

Over the past four years, the department has invested in the growth of medical, nursing and allied health team members. This includes increasing the ED medical staff base, training and recruiting to advanced nursing roles along with encouraging the development of a multidisciplinary team to best meet the needs of patients. Medical staff working within the department cover a 24/7 roster. This position is advertised as full time however there is flexibility to consider options around FTE. The department has been approved as a site for advanced trainee placement and as such we are looking forward to further developing education and training programmes for junior medical staff.
