An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the innovative and established Acute Medical Unit (AMU) team within Emergency Care at University Hospitals Southampton as an AMU Consultant. 

This is an opportunity to join a team of 11 Acute Medical Consultants. The unit serves a population of 350,000 and is a teaching department of the University of Southampton.

The Acute Medical Unit is a purpose built 54 bedded unit, with an additional surge capacity of 14 beds plus a short-stay area downstream. We have a Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) facility that is expanding pathways and services to meet the increasing demand for emergency care both from primary care and the emergency department.

The AMU team has also recently developed virtual acute care pathways which will be developed further and supported by this role.
