The successful candidate will help us to continue to develop medical services within the Trust, which includes responsibility for the acute medical units and the same day emergency care unit. The Acute & Emergency Medicine Care Group encompasses the specialities of Acute Medicine and Emergency medicine within the Division of Medicine at the Royal Liverpool Hospital. The Division's Medical Director is Dr Mark Lawton with Dr Patricia Cunningham as the Clinical Director for Acute Medicine. All major clinical subspecialties are represented within the Division of Medicine (cardiology, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, nephrology, diabetes & endocrinology, clinical gerontology, dermatology & allergy, rheumatology and infectious diseases & clinical pharmacology). Neurology is provided by the regional neurological centre (Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust) based at the University Hospital Aintree campus. Acute emergency medical admissions are preferentially handled within the Acute Medical Unit (AMU), which is situated adjacent to the Emergency Department (ED) at the Royal Liverpool Hospital. This unit deals with the majority (over 90%) of the Division's total acute admissions, whether admitted via ED or through GP referral. The AMU currently has 66 beds, as well as a newly established acute assessment area with 26 fully examination spaces. Approximately 40% of all admissions to the AMU are discharged directly home from the unit. The median stay on AMU for all patients is in the region of 18 hours. Since opening in 2018 there has been a significant investment in the ambulatory emergency care service (AEC). There is a dedicated space to assess and manage patients requiring same day interventions, as well as facilities to bring patients back for assessment, allowing for safe and early discharge from hospital. There is also a virtual component to the work carried out on AEC, allowing a more efficient way of managing our patients and reducing the number of trips to hospital.

Broadgreen Hospital is home to elective surgical, diagnostic and treatment services, together with specialist patient rehabilitation. Liverpool Women's Hospital specialises in the health of women and babies, delivering over 7,200 babies in the UK's largest single site maternity hospital each year.
