Clinical Fellow (ST4+) in Anaesthesia

Job summary

An opportunity has arisen to join the outstanding Anaesthetic team at Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.

The successful applicant will have experience of general anaesthetics, have completed Stage 1 training and Primary FRCA or equivalent and be experienced in obstetrics anaesthesia. There is also a requirement to cover Intensive Care whilst on-call so sufficient experience in Intensive Care Medicine is required.

Although this is a non-training post the position offers excellent learning opportunities identical to those enjoyed by the deanery trainees. This is an ideal post for gaining further anaesthetics competencies or to progress a career in anaesthetics. Training would be recognised/accredited for portfolio pathway training or OOPE/OOPT. The successful candidate would enjoy the support of an Educational Supervisor as well as study leave and self-development time. There is also study budget for fellows. There are a number of exciting developments within the department and this post would lend itself to someone interested in developing simulation training or leading quality improvement and service development, these opportunities can be discussed further at interview. We can offer advanced training (SIAs) in a number of areas within the RCOA curriculum. The department has an excellent track record in supporting trainees through postgraduate exams and success in gaining the next post on the training scheme.

Main duties of the job

Daytime duties consist of supervised theatre lists, anaesthetic clinics and acute pain work. This will be a mixture of training lists and service provision reflecting the needs of the trainee and the department.

The successful applicant will be part of the on-call rota with a maximum frequency of 1:8. It would be expected that this would involve supervising less experienced anaesthetists when on on call. Full consultant support is available when on call.
