ER physician

Are you an ambitious ER physician who wants to work on our new acute care pathway in one of the most enjoyable and progressive hospitals in the Netherlands? Do you want to continuously improve acute care together with the department and the ER within a top-clinical setting? Come join us and start as an ER physician.

ER physician:
In North Holland, an emergency really means an emergency! The down-to-earth North Hollander only comes to the emergency department when something is seriously wrong. Because of this, your workday is dynamic and medically challenging.

As an ER physician at Noordwest:

• you provide direct patient care and supervise A(N)IOS
• you coordinate patient flows in the department
• you independently perform (pediatric) PSA and emergency ultrasound
• you take on a coordinating role in multidisciplinary reception (resuscitation, trauma, thrombolysis)

We work with short lines and low-threshold contact between specialists and chain partners such as ambulance services and general practitioners. Together, we ensure high-quality, efficient acute care.

emergency department:
The Emergency Department of Noordwest is located at two sites: Alkmaar and Den Helder.

Alkmaar location

• Our newly opened acute care pathway in Alkmaar offers a wonderful new workplace for our ER staff
• A top-clinical hospital where trauma care is performed in its full breadth. Think of multi-trauma, IAT, PCI, and neurosurgery.
• Annually, we see ±31,000 patients here (excluding initial heart/lung assistance)
• Since 2008, we have had an RGS-accredited ER medicine training program with 6 AIOS
• General practitioners and general military physicians are also trained with us

The acute care pathway is designed with an eye for the best care for patients and the best workplace for our (healthcare) professionals. A conscious choice was made for a restorative environment in which light, nature, tranquility, and comfort come together, reinforced by sound-absorbing materials and low-stimulus colors.

You will work here with state-of-the-art facilities, smart logistics, space, light, and innovative technology that supports you in complex clinical work. Everything is aimed at even better collaboration and creating the optimal environment for our patients. This allows you to make a difference with high-quality care, even in the most challenging situations.

Due to the small scale, your work here is broad and diverse, with short consultation lines. During ANW hours, as the ER physician on duty, you are also available for acute patients in the clinic.

You will join a team of 20 ER physicians, working at both locations and as full members of the medical staff. The ER physicians are present 24/7 at both locations.
