1 week ago


Taunton, Somerset, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time
We currently service a 16 bed Critical Care Unit (a combination of 8 level 2 and 8 level 3).

We have also secured funding for a new 24 bed unit with 8 new operating theatres and endoscopy suite, projected to open around 2024.

The post will be approximately 50% Intensive Care and 50% second specialty (e.g. anaesthetics).

Our ICU department is a particularly friendly and cohesive team, supported by exceptional multidisciplinary staff. We have a strong team ethos where consultants support one another in a non-hierarchical environment. There are many non-clinical Consultant roles that are shared amongst the team with opportunities for everyone to contribute.


We have impressive outcome data as a unit as evidenced by ICNARC and we are proud of our 'Outstanding' CQC rating for care.

We see a busy and interesting workload arising from emergency admissions and planned support of complicated elective work.

The department has a very strong research ethos and is involved in several national trials for which we have been large recruiters.


  • Patient safety to be actively involved in delivering high quality patient centred care and contributing to safety and quality initiatives and improvement projects being undertaken in the trust.
  • Education to supervise and support doctors in training. This will include delivery of teaching sessions and assisting the personal and professional development of our nonconsultant staff. It will also include assessment and appraisal of trainees under your supervision with appropriate liaison with Clinical/College tutors when required. The department also supports education of medical students from Bristol and Peninsula.
  • Audit active participation in audit including initiation and supervision of audit projects related to your subspecialist interest. Participation in national audits is encouraged. All projects are approved by the Clinical Effectiveness and Audit Committee.


Clinical Governance
  • Staff are accountable and responsible for maintaining their own clinical competence and acting within their competence. In addition, they must comply with requirements of their professional organisations regarding supervision.


Research
  • There is an active research programme within ICU to which the new appointees are expected to collaborate with.
  • Appraisal/job planning/mandatory training to fully comply with requirements for annual appraisal and job planning and maintain an up to date mandatory training record.
