The hospital is Londons leading charitable hospital, and uniquely its business model is that all are used to part fund an NHS commissioned hospice, St Johns Hospice, which is an integral part of the hospitals estate. St Johns Hospice provides high quality, holistic care to those with life-limiting illnesses and their families across North London, all completely free of charge.
Main duties of the job

skilled and motivated Critical Care Fellows to support the work undertaken
within the hospital, including providing resident doctor cover for the 4 HDU
beds. The Critical Care Fellow is one of

dedicated Anaesthetic Paediatric Registrar provides the primary cover for such
patients, with support from the patients Consultant Surgeon and Anaesthetist,
plus a Consultant Paediatrician
