Job summary
We are recruiting for a specialty doctor in Anaesthesia to support the Ashford Elective Centre, St Peter's Hospital emergency surgery and St. Peter's on call rota. The post is aimed at General Anaesthetists with an interest in Orthopaedic surgery.
Our aim is to provide a high-quality patient experience and an excellent place to work for all staff. We believe that the key to improved patient and staff experience is a high quality, efficient and patient-centered pathway, in which the patient sees the 'right doctor, first time'. We are welcoming applications from candidates interested in full or part-time working. We'd love to meet you for an informal visit. Please feel free to contact us to arrange a visit or for an informal chat about the post.
Main duties of the job

Working will be flexible, but at least one list per week will be with a consultant for teaching and training purposes. The department will encourage the development of sub-specialty interests.
- Resident 1:8 on call including 1:8 weekends on a full shift EWTD compliant rota, rotating between obstetrics, ITU and theatres. The total sessional commitment will be 12, with 1 PA for pre & post operative assessment.
- Compliance with the European directive on working hours will be observed
- As a rolling rota is in operation the number of clinical daytime sessions per week will vary and will involve, on a rotating basis, sessions in the operating theatres, intensive care and obstetrics, whenever possible with a Consultant.
- All operating lists undertaken by the Specialty Doctors have a nominated Consultant Anaesthetist with clinical responsibility and this is clearly identified on the weekly rota.
