Overview
This post is appointed on a fixed-term basis for the primary purpose of providing structured training and supervised clinical development. While the postholder will contribute to service delivery, the overarching purpose of the post is to provide defined educational opportunities, supervised clinical practice, and experience aligned to the relevant specialty training curriculum.
The post will provide training and experience in Critical Care Medicine in a surgical critical care unit admitting approximately 1000 patients per year. There will also be shifts in the General Intensive Care Unit which is led by the same team. The critical care department at Southampton General Hospital provides services for a wide range of specialities including General Surgery, General Medicine, Trauma, Vascular and Thoracic Surgery. The department is recognised for training by the Intercollegiate Board for Training in ICM at all levels including the CCT programme.
This post is intended for Junior Fellows who wish to gain experience in the management of critical care patients, with a focus on surgical critical care. Preference will be given to those who have previous experience in Intensive Care Medicine and/or Anaesthesia. We have an excellent track record for supporting junior fellows going on to obtain posts in specialist training programmes.
