This post is suitable for individuals with a minimum of 3 years' experience in anaesthesia and wishing to gain further experience and skills in this specialty. This role is also suited to colleagues who have completed stage 1 training in anaesthesia and are wishing to gain stage 2 competencies ahead of joining/re-joining a formal training programme, or for colleagues who are working towards a CESR application.
The appointee will be assigned a consultant mentor and will spend time training in an established Anaesthesia department with a strong track record in clinical governance, education, and research with exposure to a wide range of pathology and specialist patient groups. The department serves a large general hospital with approximately 300 beds and supports a busy emergency and elective programme. There are numerous services on site offering varied clinical experience to the successful applicant. These include Obstetrics and Gynaecology, General Surgery, Breast Surgery, Paediatrics, Urology, Trauma and Orthopaedics, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, General Medicine, ENT, Respiratory Medicine, Critical Care, and the region's tertiary Infectious Diseases unit. The successful candidate will join a consultant-led medical workforce and doctors in training of all grades. There are two tiers of trainee on-call covering theatres and obstetrics.
Under the supervision of the Consultant Anaesthetists, the appointee will assist in practical procedures, assessment, investigation, treatment, and day-to-day management of patients. Senior Clinical Fellows will be expected to work at a minimum level of CT3 or equivalent, with increased responsibility for assessment and management of unwell patients in the hospital, and, where appropriate, supervision of more junior trainees. They will be supported in this by the Consultant workforce.
Some administrative work will be part of the standard workload. In addition, active participation in audit is expected.
The applicant will also be part of an on-call anaesthetic rota on a full shift basis on a EWTD compliant rota. Consultant supervision will be provided at all times, and consultants are resident within the hospital for a minimum of 10 hours per day.
