Practice Support
Brighton and Hove Federation maintains a Locum Bank of clinical and administrative staff which can be utilised by Practices as cover for short-term illness, annual leave, and capacity issues due to changes in service demand. GP Practices request shifts via our workforce platform, Luna, which notifies our Bank staff and enables them to sign up to a shift based on their preferences and availability.
Brighton and Hove Federation also provides phone cover to practices and PCNs during the formal citywide PLT events and individual practice or PCN training events.

Reference: 2350682
Job summary
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust is seeking to recruit a Consultant in Emergency Medicine. Successful candidates will join a team of 18 consultants. The Directorate provides services across 3 hospital sites within the county of Worcestershire.
As a Trust we are actively involved in developing the training program for students from the Three Counties Medical School based in Worcester which opened in September 2023. We look forward to establishing links with the new Medical School in addition to well-established relationships with the University of Birmingham and the University of Warwick.
As part of the Consultant Advisory Appointment Committee, shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide a 5 minute presentation on the topic: What digital innovations do you think will benefit patients in WANHST Emergency departments.
Interested candidates are invited to contact Dr Gemma Myers to discuss the opportunity.
AAC interview date: 4th December 2026
This job description was approved by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine on 20th July 2026.
Main duties of the job
As part of the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Cross-County Emergency Medicine Directorate, you will have the opportunity to work at both Worcestershire Royal Hospital and the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch.
