In addition, the post holder will participate in a 1:8 Anaesthetics/Critical Care EWTD compliant full shift on-call rota, covering Theatres, Obstetric anaesthesia or Critical Care depending on service need. The department has received Anaesthesia Clinical Services Accreditation (ACSA) from the Royal College of Anaesthetists. We have an excellent success rate for our Clinical Fellows gaining training numbers for their desired specialty.

Main duties of the job

1. Working collaboratively with colleagues to further develop and improve the service.
2. Undertake clinical work, as dictated by weekly anaesthetic rota in clinical areas suitable to experience - based in Operating Theatres (main and day case surgery), the Maternity Unit and the Intensive Care Units.
3. Contribute to the smooth running of the service by maintaining a flexible approach to work. The post holder may be required to change clinical duties at short notice to accommodate emergencies or unforeseen circumstances (e.g. theatre list cover for staff sickness).
4. The post holder will be part of the EWTD compliant trainee on-call rotas (general theatres, obstetrics and ICU, depending on their competence) on a 1:8 basis. The on-call rota has prospective cover included and therefore it is expected that doctors will cover each other, in respect of annual, study leave and bank holidays, without additional pay.
