The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHSFT
We are seeking an experienced Specialty Doctor to join our anaesthetic department to provide a broad range of emergency and elective activity for a rural general hospital. The heart of this role is the provision of excellent anaesthetic services for a broad range of specialties, serving the needs of our patients and our colleagues. As a small department, we rely on flexibility and teamwork. In return, we have a happy workforce and offer flexibility in return, supporting your career development. A blend of solo activity and dual-anaesthetist sessions are provided. As a specialty doctor, all activity is supervised either directly or indirectly, so support and mentorship should always be available. Main duties of the job

Assist with service delivery by covering colleagues' absences. Carry out pre and post-operative assessments as required.

There's never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We're working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open in 2030 and we are also carrying out one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken. Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond. At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs. We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships. We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too. Job responsibilities
