Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine (with sessions in a base specialty)
We would like to welcome you to join our team in offering superb patient care. We have one new post that we believe offers an excellent work-life balance in a sustainable way. We want you to enjoy working with us - not just now, but over the coming decades too.
Our team of 14 dynamic and enthusiastic consultants are pioneering an exciting transformation strategy in the Critical Care Department at Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust. This post is a replacement post as a fixed term locum position for 12 months.
Our department treats over 1600 patients a year across two sites in South London with a wide case-mix of general medical and surgical admissions. We house a number of subspecialties in our Trust including ENT, nephrology, urology, bariatrics, complex orthopaedics, interventional cardiology, high-risk obstetrics and numerous cancer specialists. Around 40% of our patients are ventilated at any one time, and around 3% of these are retrieved by tertiary ECMO services. We provide emergency renal replacement therapy to around 60% of our admissions. Our ICNARC mortality and other outcomes are comparable to similar units.
Please note the post is pending approval by the RCoA
We offer annualised contracts that allow for generous periods of time away from work. These posts are open to full-time intensivists and we are flexible and will therefore also accommodate those who wish to maintain clinical sessions in another specialty (e.g. anaesthesia, acute medicine, emergency medicine, respiratory medicine and nephrology).
These posts attract 10 programmed activities (PAs) and are offered as a split of 7.5 direct clinical care (DCC) and up to 2.5 supporting professional activities (SPA). SPA allocation is reviewed annually to ensure appropriate consultant skill development and career progression, whilst meeting the needs of the service.
All candidates must be eligible for full GMC registration and either already be on the Specialist Register or be within six months (of interview date) of receiving CCT/CESR, please provide supporting evidence. Please see the person specification listed.
