The Hyper Acute Major Trauma team currently works on an in-reach basis providing specialist assessment and treatment of complex Category A trauma patients as per British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine guidelines on the QEUH site.
Due to an identified gap in service provision, further AHP rehabilitation posts have been created to ensure equity of service provision for all trauma patients irrespective of their ward location. Hyperacute patients have suffered a traumatic injury often a brain injury which has resulted in them having a variety of complex rehabilitation needs which requires a co-ordinated multi-disciplinary approach to assessment and treatment. These patients often present with a variety of complex needs and will be recognised under the major trauma service.
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic occupational therapist to join our multidisciplinary team and further develop your clinical skills with complex patients, experience of close MDT working and be involved in service improvement and evaluation.

You will clinically be responsible for rotational occupational therapists and support workers.
