Jeremy Rushmer

Jeremy is a practising consultant in intensive care medicine and anaesthesia and will continue to care for seriously ill patients at the new Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Cramlington where he has also been site medical director since September 2015.

During his time at Northumbria, Dr Rushmer has been at the forefront of delivering high quality clinical care for patients. He was one of the many doctors who, some ten years ago, pioneered the original thinking behind the revolutionary new model of emergency care now in place at the trust which is delivering much improved outcomes for patients across Northumberland and North Tyneside.

Between 2012 and 2015 Jeremy spent time as medical director at North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust where he successfully led vital quality improvements, resulting in safer and more effective care for patients and a substantial reduction in the trust’s mortality rate which was previously one of the highest in England.
