We are looking for dual-CCT Consultants in Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia. Applicants will join an established, enthusiastic team of 12 Consultants in Intensive Care Medicine to develop an expanded Consultant workforce, which will allow us to deliver a number of service improvements.
We are a 20-bed mixed-dependency unit admitting patients per year from a variety of specialties, including a regional gynaecological cancer service, maxillofacial surgery, urology and vascular surgery.
The unit is supported by a 16-bed Surgical Step-Down unit, staffed by the Department of Anaesthesia, which admits higher-risk patients during the perioperative period as well as a respiratory support unit and a medical high-dependency unit. We are also well-supported by the Critical Care Outreach Service and a dedicated team of Specialty Doctors and Associate Specialists. Our existing Consultant team have interests in echocardiography, ultrasound, medico-legal issues, and high-fidelity simulation. We are fortunate enough to have a simulation suite within the ICU.
These are full-time 10PA posts but any candidate who wishes to work less than full time will be considered and supported, taking into account service needs. Additional sessions may be available on request.
The unit is well supported by middle grade & trainee cover both in and out of hours.
As a trusted organisation at the heart of our communities, we recognise the important role we can play in supporting the public, patients, our own people and local partners in achieving the best of health for the local population and the communities in which they live by providing Exceptional Care Together
Our fundamental Values of Compassion, Openness and Excellence underpin how we intend to work as a Trust and the associated behaviours are becoming embedded in all aspects of how we work.
