Senior Clinical Fellow in Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia inLondon inLondon PUBLISHED 24 OCT 2024

Band Doctor - other  FIXED TERM  GOOD SALARY 

This post is to start as soon as possible for fixed term periods of 6 -12 months.

This post would suit a senior anaesthetic trainee in possession of FRCA (or equivalent) or experienced anaesthetic trainee with a post graduate anaesthesia qualification looking to gain further experience and complete higher and advanced training in cardiothoracic anaesthesia.

The successful candidate will participate in the provision of all aspects of Anaesthesia for both adults and children, undergoing a wide variety of cardiology, cardiac and thoracic surgical procedures.

The exact case mix will depend upon the post holder's prior experience and career aims. Training in either adult or paediatric cardiothoracic anaesthesia can be provided.

There is an established consultant delivered teaching programme. Experienced clinical fellows will have regular sessions on our ongoing programme for TAVI's and other minimally invasive procedures. They will also gain experience in transesophageal echocardiography. These three month posts will allow the post holder the opportunity to achieve all the requirements for completion of the higher cardiothoracic Unit of Training.

The department provides anaesthetic services on a daily basis for each of the six operating theatres, 4 catheter laboratories and the CT scanning suite.

A designated Consultant covers all theatre lists. Trainees are
not
expected to undertake cases alone without the prior agreement of the educational supervisor or nominated deputy.

Occasionally lists are covered by the Clinical Fellows or SpR's without the immediate presence of a Consultant. The trainee in question must ensure that they are aware:

  • Which Consultant is covering them should difficulties arise
  • What their documented training objectives are for that list

The Recovery Unit is closed from 20.00 hours on Friday evening until Monday morning.

Lists are allocated to trainees the previous week. Details of each list are available at theatre reception on the previous afternoon and are arranged by the Theatre Scheduler. Pre-operative assessment of the following day's patients is the responsibility of the trainee scheduled to the respective list. Where this is not possible, for example due to heavy theatre commitments or if trainees are not in the Hospital, then the on-call Registrar will arrange to see the patient. Anaesthetic assessment forms are kept on the wards.
