Overview
We have 2 Consultant Anaesthetist posts available, 1 Scarborough based and 1 York based.
Within the Trust we are part of the Surgery Care Group, which includes most surgical specialties. We have a Clinical Director responsible for the Theatres, Anaesthetics and Critical Care directorate (TACC) across the Trust, supported by Lead Clinicians for Intensive Care, Pain, Anaesthetics and Theatres.
Surgical services are located principally at two acute hospitals, York and Scarborough. At Scarborough Hospital surgical services are supported by a brand new Urgent Care Centre including both HDU and ITU capacity. The main theatre suite comprises five theatres, in addition to a separate maternity theatre. Elective surgical services at Scarborough currently include: general surgery (including emergencies), trauma, gynaecology, ENT, maxillo‑facial, oral surgery, ophthalmology and urology. We now also have a successful and expanding day unit to support this.
Responsibilities
It is envisaged that the post holder will carry out their duties as a consultant in anaesthesia based at either York or Scarborough Hospital. There is a requirement to provide cross‑site working in line with current patterns within the department to support a robust and sustainable provision of workforce in anaesthesia. Currently, all consultants provide cross‑site work including on‑call.
The posts are initially contracted for 10 programmed activities per week. The demands of the Anaesthetic department mean that close and ongoing collaboration with consultant colleagues is required. A degree of mutual two‑way flexibility in sessional provision is anticipated.
Individual job plans will be discussed and finalised with the clinical director on appointment and will become operational on commencement. All job plans are agreed in line with the Trust’s Job Planning Principles. Job plans will be reviewed annually in line with appraisals. The job plan will be a prospective agreement that sets out a consultant’s typical working pattern, duties and responsibilities. It will cover all aspects of a consultant’s professional practice including clinical work, teaching, research, education, managerial responsibilities, and external commitments.
