Physicians (eqv to ST3+) in Pre-hospital Care

Our prehospital service is provided by Barts Health NHS Trust in partnership with the London's Air Ambulance charity, and the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust. Our doctor-paramedic team responds to major trauma patients within the Greater London area, by helicopter during daylight hours and using rapid response cars during the hours of darkness. Our mission is to save more lives in London through rapid response and outstanding care, underpinned by our values and a high performing culture.

We are currently looking to recruit additional physicians that will train in Pre-Hospital Care, working as an essential part of the delivery of major trauma care across Greater London. Given the commitment of the service to diversifying its patient reach, applications will be welcomed from doctors with appropriate background skills in Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia, but who have decided to pursue a structured programme targeted towards a specialty with an emergency focus, for example Trauma Surgery/Neurosurgery. We are looking to appoint to jobs starting in March 2028, each for six months, with one new doctor starting each month.

Interviews are scheduled to take place on 26 and 27 January 2027. Candidates are advised to keep these dates available., Applications are welcome from consultants and residents who will be ST6+ at the time of appointment and include:
1. Those wishing to develop a career in prehospital care or who have obtained a CCT in prehospital emergency medicine but who would like to gain additional experience in the prehospital management of major trauma.
2. Those who are specialists / leaders in prehospital systems nationally / internationally but who would like to undertake a fellowship role in our service.
