Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will have regular training lists across a broad spectrum of specialties as mutually agreed at interview and will contribute to the out of hours service by being part of the on-call team alongside the anaesthetic trainees. All out of hours call rotas at Leeds are a 1 in 8 working pattern and are compliant with European Working Time Directive legislation and the 2016 contract. When not working out of hours, successful applicants will have a mixture of consultant-supervised and solo lists (where appropriate).

The successful applicant will have a named consultant supervisor, undergo regular appraisal, and actively participate in the GMC revalidation process. During these meetings, specific training requirements and educational goals can be defined.
Teaching, research, study, and training
The post can provide experience in anaesthetic subspecialty blocks not available in most hospitals, subject to availability. Such experience, documented and supported with assessments and regular appraisals, can benefit those seeking to join specialty training in Anaesthesia.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals offers a range of postgraduate medical activities directed by the PGME centre at both Leeds General Infirmary and St James's University Hospital. We are the main provider of postgraduate training in Anaesthesia in West Yorkshire, supporting trainees in achieving FRCA examinations and securing consultant positions.
