We have a 12 month fixed term Consultant in Anaesthesia Post available, including on call activity. Sessions during the day will be delivered in theatre. The consultant on call is responsible for juniors who are resident for theatres, obstetric and ITU cover.
Hereford currently has an exciting building expansion programme including work to our day case facility, which should increase our establishment needs in the longer term. This may mean there is an opportunity to extend beyond the end of the initial period.
There is the possibility to negotiate reduced or additional DCC / SPA sessions for those with either additional commitments or talents.
Main duties of the job
Clinical anaesthetic duties will be undertaken in the theatre suite but may also include obstetrics, ECT, cardioversion or thoracoscopy which are outside the main suite. As a DGH we cover a wide range of specialties including elective paediatrics over the age of 2. The appointee will take part in regular Departmental, Academic and Audit meetings. The post-holder would be expected to participate in Continuing Medical Education to the level required by the Royal College of Anaesthetists / IBTICM as appropriate to the individual post-holder. The post holder is expected to be familiar with and adhere to the Trust's policies on Clinical Governance, Confidentiality and Infection Control. About us
