Clinical Fellow in Critical Care

The closing date is 29 June 2025

Job summary

"The Trust seeks to appoint a Clinical Fellow in Critical Care. This is a 1 year fixed term post and applicants will be expected to have suitable experience within Critical Care.

You will be joining a dynamic and forward thinking team of doctors and the division of Anaesthesia at BHRUT provides anaesthetic, critical care and acute and chronic pain services for the local population. This takes the form of elective and emergency anaesthesia supporting the broad range of surgical specialties that the Trust provides; critical care services including a consultant lead critical care outreach team; acute pain ward rounds; and outpatient clinics for chronic pain, anaesthetic pre-assessment and critical care follow-up.

BHR is one of the largest Associate Teaching Hospitals, providing acute care for over 700,000 people from across 2 main sites - Queens and King George Hospitals, as well as peripheral sites at Barking, Dagenham and Brentwood. We are a major Neurosciences centre, and are undergoing significant further development as a tertiary referral centre for North East London and Essex, including additional critical care capacity.

We are also a major cancer centre, and are actively striving to enhance the range of our services.

The job advert will close early if sufficient applications are received.

Main duties of the job

Contribute to the provision of a high quality, responsive critical care service to Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust that assumes responsibility for the patients within the catchment area in co-operation with colleagues in anaesthetics and other clinical departments. This will involve caring for patients on the ITUs and

HDUs at Queen's Hospital and/or King George Hospital, reviewing patients and initiating critical care treatment in Accident & Emergency, theatre recovery and ward areas, and undertaking transfer of patients (both intra- and inter-hospital).

Please see the attached job description and person specification.

About us

We're an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we're no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London - more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across northeast London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It'll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
