About the Role
We have an exciting opportunity for a clinical fellow to join our Intensive Care team. The RUH ICU admits approximately 1,000 patients per year, 85% of whom are emergencies, including critically unwell children. The patient cohort is a 60% medical – 40% surgical split with a mean age of 61, an average length of stay of 2.7 days and a standardised mortality ratio of 0.93, meaning more of our patients survive compared to similar sized units. In December 2024 we will move to a brand-new ward, B36, with a 16-bed capacity and a mix of negative, neutral and positive pressure ventilated rooms.
Day shifts are staffed by 2 consultants and 3 resident doctors (2 SHO, 1 Middle Grade) 7 days a week. We offer multiple training opportunities throughout the week including radiology meetings, ICU follow up clinic, FUSIC club, monthly journal club, M&M and clinical governance sessions.
