Emergency Medicine at the Royal Berkshire Hospital
The RBH is a busy district general hospital serving a population of 600,000 and our ED sees approximately 108,000 patients per year with 25% of these being under 16 years old. We are a trauma unit operating within the Thames Valley Trauma Network. We have a 24hr cardiac catheterization and stroke thrombolysis service.
Emergency Medicine is at the heart of the hospital’s emergency care pathway and provides innovative and high quality care for patients from the moment they arrive at the hospital. It is a consultant led service with consultants providing leadership and patient care on the ‘shop floor’. There is a strong commitment to ensure the ED is appropriately resourced to deliver high quality and timely emergency care. The trust has been and continues to be very supportive of the developments that are taking place to address the pressures resulting from increased emergency admissions and a greater acuity of cases which present.
Over the last year we have expanded our Emergency Nurse Practitioner service, and they are now providing cover 0800-0100 7/7.
The Consultant team provide on-site cover from 0800-midnight 7 days a week, 24 hour middle grade cover, and night shifts staffed by 5-6 doctors.
