Deputy Clinical Lead

The Deputy Lead Consultant in Emergency Medicine (Deputy Clinical Lead) is the next person in charge after the Clinical Lead. Should the Clinical Lead be absent for whatever reason, the authority is passed onto the deputy. The current Deputy Clinical Lead is Ethan Hardy
Prior to Connie Beauchamp's arrival, there was little requirement for a deputy as there had only been two consultants working there at one time since Nick Jordan's departure in July 2012. Before Nick Jordan's departure, Zoe Hanna held the position of Deputy Clinical Lead. When Connie took over as Clinical Lead in 2014, Zoe adopted the title of deputy.
Zoe left in May 2016 and the position remained vacant until July, as her replacement, Elle Gardner, was only there as a locum. When offered the permanent position in July, Elle took on the role of deputy. She initially held the role until November, at which point she became Clinical Lead. In February 2017, Elle stepped down from the role of Clinical Lead, handing the responsibilities back to Connie. Elle resumed her original role as deputy.
Ethan became deputy clinical lead after stepping down as clinical lead in April 2018
The deputy can be appointed by the CEO at the time or directly by the current Clinical Lead.
