Locum Consultant Anaesthetist

at  Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust

We are looking to recruit to one full-time Locum Consultant Anaesthetist posts at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
There is an Anaesthetic Department based at each campus, both are large and active departments, which have close operational links with Theatres on each site. The Anaesthetic Departments are integrated with the Pain Management Services, all being part of the Clinical Support Division (CSD).
The Divisional Director for CSD is Dr Thea De Beer and the Clinical Director for the Theatres & Anaesthesia is Dr Hannah Sycamore. There is, in addition, a Head of Service on each campus; Dr Sumera Hussain at the City Campus and Dr Chris Harber at the QMC campus, supported by four Deputy Heads of Service.
The Clinical Departments of Anaesthesia maintain close links with the University Department headed by Professor Jonathan Hardman. The Clinical and University departments collaborate to provide teaching for undergraduates in addition to all grades of anaesthetic trainees. Laboratory and clinical research can be undertaken and the development of individual and specialist research interests is encouraged.
Across the two campuses and including the Treatment Centre, there are a total of almost 60 physical operating theatres. All surgical specialties are covered between the two campuses. With regard to specialties, Cardiac, Thoracic, Elective Orthopaedics, Renal, and Burns & Plastics are located at the City campus, which is also where a large amount of elective cancer surgery is performed. The QMC anaesthetic department supports a very significant acute surgical workload, including Trauma & Orthopaedics, Major Trauma, Neurosurgery and Spinal surgery, as well as Vascular, Colorectal and Hepatobiliary surgery. All paediatric surgery is located at the QMC campus. NUH has been designated a Major Trauma Centre, providing specialist trauma care for most of the region.
Locally, specialty training in anaesthesia is managed by the East Midlands School of Anaesthesia, Health Education East Midlands. The Anaesthetic departments are actively involved in the training of specialty trainees at all levels.
The appointee will be expected to fulfil the duties with the agreed Job Plan. The appointee will be responsible for the management of those patients admitted under his/her care and be responsible with Consultant colleagues for the provision of both comprehensive elective and emergency anaesthetic services. The appointee will be required to devote substantially the whole of his/her time to the duties of the post according to the agreed Job Plan and give these priority at all times.
With over 19,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.
