We are seeking to appoint a new Chair of Emergency Medicine working jointly across Swansea University Medical School and Swansea Bay University Health Board. You will have an established and evidenced track record of research, teaching, leadership, and management within emergency medicine.

You will work within the Welsh Centre for Emergency Medicine Research that was formed in 2019 with a view to both sustaining and promoting the growth of academic emergency medicine in Wales and beyond. The Centre was formed as part of a strong collaboration between Swansea Bay University Health Board, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, and Swansea University.

It collaborates with the NHS, business and the third sector in a spirit of open innovation and has established itself as a world-class place to learn, research and innovate.

The Medical School ranks top 5 for research quality (REF2021) and is consistently top 5 in various subject-specific teaching league tables. Swansea University has been awarded the UK Government’s Teaching Excellence and Student Outcome Framework (TEF) Gold award to recognise its excellent teaching standards.
