Job overview
A Clinical Fellow post in Anaesthesia is available from December at the Oxford University Hospitals.
The post will be based jointly with the Horton Hospital, Banbury and the Oxford hospitals.

There are dedicated opportunities to work alongside seniors, anaesthetising patients in remote site settings including MRI. You must be familiar with the demands of a large UK teaching hospital anaesthetic department.
The postholders will provide elective and emergency anaesthesia to adults and children and be part of the hospital cardiac arrest team at the Horton General Hospital, as part of the resident rota. Alongside this, you will be gaining experience providing anaesthesia for a variety of specialties offered at OUH. Training and professional development will be tailored to the experience and needs of the postholder, and appropriate supervision is provided at all times.
Main duties of the job
The focus of this fellowship, beyond the delivery of perioperative care and participation in the resident on-call rotas, is gaining months experience at the equivalent of stage and training in various anaesthesia disciplines.
The work schedule is resident, full shift : on call rota (pro rata), at the Horton General Hospital, Banbury. This is a resident rota providing support to the trauma theatre and critical care / airway support to the rest of the hospital. A duty consultant is on site until pm, every day, including bank holidays and weekends. You will be the sole anaesthetist resident at night, with the consultant available from home. There is a dedicated on-call room available.
Daytime work will focus on delivering and gaining experience in high turnover day case and trauma anaesthesia while at Banbury and there may be opportunities to gain stage / equivalent training experience at the Oxford hospital site. Fellows are expected to deliver some solo elective theatre lists commensurate with their level of training and experience, but always with indirect consultant supervision.
