Main duties of the job
We currently offer new jobs at 11PAs to include 7.0PAs Direct Clinical Care (DCC) plus 2.5 PAs out of hours DCC and Basic 1.5 SPAs. A job plan review is done after three months and any additional SPAs can be negotiated to reflect the exact working practice of the successfulcandidate. It is expected that SPA time is allocated equally between Anaesthesia and Critical Care.
The job pattern spans a ten-week cycle, which includes three weeks on critical care and 5 weeks in theatre, (six sessions per week + SPA). There are compensatory rest periods built in, known as 'anti-burnout' weeks. The overall ICU: anaesthesia split is approximately 50:50
About us
NGH is one of the largest employers in the area and all of our divisions are committed to doing things better, with more efficiency as we update, modernise, and advance. We have also entered into a Group Model with neighbouring Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
Being a large DGH with a proud history, we are big enough to get interesting cases, but small enough to care, coach and develop. With over 200 consultants, a similar number of trainees and approximately 60medical undergraduates throughout the year, NGH provides comprehensive care and extensive training opportunities.
With this in mind, we have built a state of the art emergency assessment unit (Nye Bevan building) and are developing new ways of working to streamline in-patient care and optimize working with our partners.
NGH also has a large library, gym with swimming pool, and a brand new entrance with Marks and Spencer, Subway and Costa on site.
