Minor Injuries Registrar

Inspire Medical is recruiting Registrars for minor injury units for locum and fixed term positions at various locations across the country. Posts are in HSE injury units and in private urgent care clinics, seeing walk-in patients with injuries and illnesses that do not need an emergency department: fractures, sprains, wounds, burns and minor head injuries.

Units run daytime and evening hours with no overnight on-call, and suit a doctor with emergency medicine, orthopaedic or general practice experience. Locum cover runs from single shifts to rolling blocks; fixed term contracts run from three months upward. Salary and rates vary depending on whether the post is private or HSE. General Registration with the Irish Medical Council is mandatory.
