We are seeking a short-term Locum Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine with a specialist interest in Clinical Toxicology for 6 months to join our “Outstanding” CQC-rated Critical Care team.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to one of only four specialist inpatient clinical toxicology services in the UK, closely aligned with the National Poisons Information Service (Birmingham Unit). The appointee will primarily work at MMUH but may provide services at other sites. Applicants must be on the GMC Specialist Register or be eligible within six months of the interview date, with broad training and experience in both critical care and clinical toxicology. We welcome candidates with additional clinical or diagnostic skills that will enhance our team. This is a substantive job, with flexibility in job planning, but is 75:25 in favour of ICM. The successful applicant will contribute to both the ICU and the West Midlands Poisons Unit on-call rotas.
The successful candidate will have a senior medical role in our “Outstanding” CQC-rated Critical Care service. You’ll contribute to the daily operation of our 24/7 consultant‑covered ICU, participating in the non‑resident on‑call rota. This involves managing critically ill patients, engaging in multidisciplinary teamwork, contributing to quality, safety, and governance through active participation, as well as delivering and supervising educational activities.
Alongside, you will provide expert clinical toxicology services as part of one of only four specialist inpatient services in the UK, closely aligned with the Birmingham Unit of the National Poisons Information Service. This includes day and on‑call cover for the West Midlands Poisons Unit, active involvement in the day‑to‑day activities of the clinical toxicology team, and contributing to policy, management, governance, and staff training.
