We are delighted to seek applications for the post of Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) to join our team in Salisbury.
This substantive position is a replacement post, and the successful applicant will join the 7 existing Intensive Care Consultants who lead patient care in the intensive care unit (ICU), one of the premier services in this high performing Foundation Trust. The CQC recently described Critical Care services as 'Outstanding' in Salisbury.

Interviews for this post will be held on Wednesday, 6th August 2025.
Main duties of the job
This is a 10 PA post, with the possibility of an additional programmed activity. On average, 4.5 PA are delivered as DCC to ICU, with a further 4 PAs of DCC outside ICU in the applicant's base specialty, and 1.5 SPAs. The postholder may want to allocate time for research during DCC, which can be discussed with Clinical Leads and the Clinical Director upon appointment.
The proportion of SPA would increase with increasing responsibilities after appointment.
Currently, 8 intensive care consultants share the daytime weekday workload equally, with 7 providing out-of-hours non-resident cover. Most current ICM consultants have a second specialty in anaesthesia, with one in Emergency Medicine. Applications are welcome from CCT holders with dual CCTs or single specialty ICM.
