An exciting opportunity has arisen at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust for dynamic and enthusiastic Locally Employed Doctors (ST1-2 Equivalent) in Emergency Medicine with positions available at both The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) and the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH). It is an opportunity to join a friendly and dynamic hospital team with a range of specialty interests and an excellent reputation for providing an educational and supportive environment. 

The post is ideal for doctors looking to develop clinical competency to progress their career and to go on to apply for national training.
