The post holder will join an existing team of Intensivists in Scarborough and contribute to daytime and on-call ICU duties. The ICU at Scarborough Hospital currently admits around 400 patients per year and is currently staffed to a dependency of 6 level 3 beds with future growth likely.
A brand new, purpose-built, state of the art Intensive Care Unit opened in May 2025. The new Intensive care unit has 10 individual patient rooms, a roof terrace, and fantastic staff facilities.
The Intensive care unit is staffed from 8am to 6pm every day of the week by a FICM accredited Consultant Intensivist. Overnight cover may be provided either by an Intensivist or an Anaesthetist (Specialist or Consultant) with an interest in ICM. The rota is currently 1:8 but this is looking to expand over time. Daytime ICU cover may also be provided by a York-based ICU consultant. The ICU is also staffed by a robust well-staffed SAS / middle grade / trainee rota during the day and out of hours.
The nursing teams are very well supported by an experienced senior nurse leadership and educator team. The nursing teams have good recruitment and staffing numbers.
The intensive care uses the high performance Metavision Clinical Information System for records which can be accessed and viewed remotely.
Average direct clinical care commitment (DCC) per week: 5.95 PA/week
Currently, the Consultant workforce in Scarborough are all dual-trained in Anaesthesia and deliver an average of 2.4 PAs per week of weekday ICU and the remainder as Anaesthesia sessions. These anaesthesia sessions are delivered flexibly.
Single stream ICM applicants would deliver more ICU weekday sessions. There is flexibility to write a job plan that includes any second dual specialty if required up to an average of approximately 1 day / 2.5PA per week. Working patterns will vary and will obviously depend on if you are single, or dual CCT, and what your second specialty commitment is. Individual job plans will be discussed and finalised with the Lead Clinician and Clinical Director on appointment and will become operational on commencement.
