Job description

Job responsibilities

Hywel Dda serves a population of approximately 385,000 people across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, covering over a quarter of the landmass of Wales making it one of the most geographically extensive Health Boards in the UK.

This is Emergency Medicine in its truest sense: high acuity decision making, clinical autonomy, strong consultant influence and meaningful impact on local communities.

If you are a newly appointed CCT doctor we will support your transition into independent consultant practice through a strong induction, named consultant support, and the opportunity to develop a portfolio interest.

The Roles

Newly appointed consultants will be supported through a strong induction, named consultant support and opportunities to develop portfolio interests.

We are particularly keen to attract consultants with an interest in Paediatric Emergency Medicine, or those wishing to develop paediatrics as a specialist or portfolio area. There are also opportunities in education and simulation, service improvement, clinical leadership, and specialist interests such as trauma or pre hospital care, alongside regional and system level working.

Emergency Medicine in Hywel Dda

Our Emergency Departments serve diverse urban, rural and remote populations, including areas with significant seasonal tourism pressures and an ageing population with complex needs. Long travel distances mean senior decision making genuinely matters, creating a challenging but professionally rewarding environment where consultant presence has a real impact on patient care. Many colleagues describe this as Emergency Medicine with purpose, where leadership is visible and valued.

Why Hywel Dda?

We prioritise supportive, stable consultant teams, with a strong emphasis on kindness, collaboration and pragmatism. There are genuine opportunities to develop clinical, educational and leadership roles, alongside a clear commitment to worklife balance and wellbeing. Welsh speaking ability is welcomed but not essential. As a University Health Board, Hywel Dda also benefits from strong academic links and opportunities for teaching and professional development.

Life in West Wales

West Wales offers a compelling lifestyle advantage, with stunning coastline, beaches, national parks and excellent outdoor opportunities. Housing is more affordable, commutes are short and communities are strong, with good schools. Many consultants choose Hywel Dda as a long term career and lifestyle option, not a stepping stone.

Who Should Apply

We welcome applications from substantive Emergency Medicine Consultants, CESR (equivalence) candidates and senior doctors approaching consultant level readiness, who value teamwork and want to shape services rather than simply maintain rotas.

Informal Enquiries

Recruitment to West Wales works best through conversation. If you are remotely interested, we strongly encourage an informal discussion or visit.

Vicky HughesClinical Lead for Emergency [email protected]

For full details of the role requirements please see attached Job Description and Person Specification for this vacancy.

Discussions around working pattern will take place during initial job planning, where preferences, requirements and options can be discussed and explored in full.

Hywel Dda University Health Board is committed to providing healthcare services that are patient-centric, ensuring that our community receives the best possible care. We value inclusivity and foster a workplace culture that embraces diversity and supports every individuals contribution towards a welcoming healthcare environment.
