In addition to clinical duties, the position will allow the fellow to enhance non-clinical skills through involvement in education, research, and quality improvement initiatives. The department values research and audit work, offering a supportive environment for fellows to engage in academic pursuits, such as presentation and publication of projects. The working hours include standard theatre days, long days, and night shifts, facilitating comprehensive clinical exposure while also contributing to the advancement of educational and leadership efforts within the Trust.
Applications are invited for one 6-month clinical fellow post in general anaesthesia, working at Charing Cross Hospital. One post is available from February 2025. Start dates after this time will also be considered. There may also be scope for an extension. This post is ideally suited to either an anaesthetist who has completed their Initial Assessment of Competence (IAC) and Primary FRCA and is looking to further their anaesthetic experience prior to securing a specialist or higher training post.
The clinical duties would cover the Stage 2 curriculum of the Royal College of Anaesthesia (RCOA). There will also be opportunities to undertake activities that enhance their non-clinical skills such as education, research, and quality improvement and publication preparation.
