During normal hours there will be the opportunity to develop skills and experience across the wide range of anaesthetic subspecialties available in the Trust.

All clinical work in either anaesthesia or intensive care will be under an appropriate level of supervision from a named consultant.
Successful candidates will be encouraged to join our trainees for their weekly teaching sessions on Tuesday afternoon.

On-call duties will initially be based at Eastbourne DGH, working a 1:8 rota of 2 resident anaesthetists, although it should be noted that a move to one of the CQ on call rotas may be needed in future to ensure full cover across both sites out of hours.
