Weston-Super-Mare and the surrounding county, has a beautiful coastline and hills and you will find yourself visiting the Mendip Hills, the Quantocks and Cheddar Gorge sooner or later. The large, diverse cities of Bristol and Bath are only a short journey by car or train and our convenient location just off Junction 21 of the M5 mean the rest of Somerset, Devon and the surfing beaches of Cornwall are virtually on the doorstep.

This reflects a firm commitment within UHBW to expand the consultant workforce in Weston ED. The posts provide eligible individuals an ideal opportunity for continued professional development within the recently expanded Department of Emergency Medicine (ED), which forms the Trust’s emergency “front door”.

The Trust is committed to the development of the Department as the Trust’s emergency “front door” and the aspiration is for further consultant expansion to allow sustainable consultant working for the future.
