Healthcare professionals are being offered a first look behind the doors of one of the newest and best emergency centres in the country.

Wexham Park Hospital in Slough is holding a recruitment day tomorrow to showcase nursing opportunities at its unique £49m emergency assessment centre.

The four-storey building is almost complete and will start receiving patients in the spring.

It will bring the emergency department, ambulatory care and surgical and medical assessment centres together under one roof as new treatment pathways are introduced across the hospital and wider healthcare system.

Students, newly qualified and experienced nurses attending the recruitment event can receive guided preview tours of the EAC and meet senior staff.

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Wexham Park, will be conducting interviews on the day and even making on-the-spot job offers.

Emergency department matron James Rolfe said: “The EAC is the biggest single investment in Wexham Park since the hospital was built more than half a century ago.

“It is a state-of-the-art facility designed by clinicians with patient care at its heart.

“We don’t believe there will be a more exciting or better place to work and progress in the NHS and we can’t wait to show people around.”

The new emergency department will be about one-third larger than Wexham Park’s current facility, occupying the entire ground floor of the building.

The floors above will house specialist assessment units, ensuring patients are diagnosed and treated swiftly and safely.

Potential recruits should head to the hospital’s postgraduate medical centre tomorrow between 9.30am and 12.30pm. From there they will be taken on tours of the emergency assessment centre. For further information about current vacancies, visit www.fhft.nhs.uk/careers
