Job summary
This post is specifically aimed at highly motivated senior doctors who aim to gain entry to the GMC specialist register to Intensive Care Medicine via the CESR pathway. Successful applicants will be mentored from Consultants who have undergone this process themselves. There will be regular meetings where your experience to date will be reviewed and guidance given on practical experience / placements required in additional to qualifications, managerial, leadership, research and teaching experience required to provide equivalent experience of a peri-CCT doctor.
Main duties of the job
The clinical commitment is based on the intensive care unit at Royal Surrey Hospital and will include day-shifts, night-shifts and weekend shifts. There is excellent presence of senior cover - with consultants on site until 10pm every day and airway-trained colleagues readily at hand 24/7. The Unit is adjacent to the operating theatre suite.
There are 28 flexibly staffed intensive care beds and dedicated side-rooms, and the unit runs at a high occupancy rate. It has undergone a rapid expansion in the last five years, associated with the expansion of specialist cancer services. Over 1300 patients are admitted annually with ~60% coming from surgical specialties. The unit has paperless electronic records. High quality ultrasound is available throughout the hospital departments with state-of-the-art machines in ICU, theatres and the ED.
