About the Role
Our Emergency Departments are split into Resuscitation, Majors, Ambulatory injuries and Paediatrics Emergencies. John Radcliffe Hospital is a Major Trauma Centre where we receive critically injured patients from the wider region. We provide weekly teaching sessions for the rostered junior doctors and have close links with the University of Oxford, offering the opportunity to develop as a Clinical Teacher through supported teaching sessions with clinical medical students.
