Job Description:
Applications are welcome for a Fixed Term Specialty Doctor in Anaesthetics for a period of 12 months, which is a 10 PA (40 hours per week) contract with a minimum of 1 SPA based at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.
The successful candidate will join a team of 13 consultants, 6 Specialty Doctors, and 5 Trainees. The Anaesthetic Department at the newly built District General Hospital, which opened in December 2017, offers excellent facilities. The main theatre complex includes 8 operating theatres and 4 endoscopy/minor procedure rooms. The theatres include a dedicated obstetric theatre; 3 UCV (laminar flow) theatres; 2 laparoscopic theatres; and 1 theatre capable of installing fixed radiological equipment. Each theatre has an anaesthetic room. The Critical Care Unit is adjacent to the operating theatres and above the Emergency Department. It has a 16-bed combined Intensive Care and High Dependency Unit with individual rooms.
Out of hours commitment involves a resident partial shift rota, approximately 1 in 7, including both 1st and 2nd call activities. Elective daytime sessions will vary, averaging 4.5 per week, primarily in the operating theatre and occasionally in ICU.
Applicants must meet the national entry criteria: be on the GMC Register, hold a license to practice, and have at least 4 years of postgraduate training, including 2 years in Anaesthesia and Critical Care.
The region offers beautiful countryside, from cliffs and beaches to forests and hills. Activities include watersports, fishing, birdwatching, golf, mountain biking, and cycling. House prices are low, schools are good, and you are within 2 hours of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lake District, and Newcastle.
