UHL is one of the largest teaching hospital trusts in England, serving a regional, national, and international population. We serve the one million residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and specialist services over a much wider area.
Applications are invited for enthusiastic and highly motivated Locum Consultants in Anaesthesia to join our team at Glenfield Hospital within the University Hospitals of Leicester. The Glenfield hospital is renowned for Cardiac, Cardiology, ECMO and Thoracic services. In addition, elective and emergency theatres support vascular, urology, hepatobiliary, renal transplant and breast specialties. Glenfield Hospital, one of the largest cardiac centres in the country performing approximately 1000 cases a year, is a tertiary referral centre for complex aortic surgery, on and off pump grafts, valve surgeries including a mini-mitral service and adult congenital cardiac disease. The case mix is complex and reviewed by an MDT team consisting of surgeons, anaesthetists and intensivists. MDT discussions are supported by high risk assessment clinics in both cardiac surgery and cardiology. This is a full time post for 12 months; many of our previous post holders have proceeded to a substantive position within the Trust. Our new strategy, ‘Leading in healthcare, trusted in communities’, was developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients and partners and is our compass for the next seven years (2023‑2030).
We have four primary goals:
* high-quality care for all
* being a great place to work
* partnerships for impact
* research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do – taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities. Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
* we are compassionate
* we are proud
* we are inclusive
* we are one team
