Senior Locally Employed Doctor in Anaesthesia
Job summary
This post is suitable for doctors with a minimum of three years' experience in anaesthesia who wish to further develop their clinical skills and experience within the specialty.
It is particularly well suited to colleagues who have successfully completed Stage 1 Anaesthetic Training and are seeking to gain Stage 2 competencies prior to joining or re-joining a formal training programme, as well as those pursuing specialist registration via the Portfolio Pathway within the specialities available on site.
The successful candidate will join a consultant-led department alongside doctors in training from a range of grades and backgrounds. The appointee will be allocated a dedicated consultant mentor and will benefit from training opportunities within a well-established Anaesthesia Department that has a strong reputation for clinical governance, education, quality improvement, and research.
The department provides excellent opportunities to develop clinical and non-clinical skills within a supportive multidisciplinary environment. There is a well-established three-tier resident on-call rota covering theatres and obstetric services.
The post holder will be expected to participate in the on-call rota, including the provision of anaesthetic services for obstetrics and undertaking third-on-call duties, supporting junior colleagues in the management of emergency cases across the hospital.
