Main duties of the job

As a Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine, you will be working within a busy department as the 'go to' person for providing advanced critical care to the Patients that need us most. Alongside this, you will be supporting other teams and departments with your expertise whether that be verbally over the telephone or by responding to them in a different ward.

More specifically, we are looking for well-trained Consultants who will positively and innovatively support the leadership and management team in not only maintaining the service delivery of ICU but improving it too.

In summary, this role will revolve around you having excellent communication skills to engage and work in partnership with other people, both internally and externally to make the Patient your number one priority. In addition, due to the nature of care being provided in the role, you will need to be caring, empathetic and have a professional manner to support the functions of ICU and display the behaviours expected within the Trust.
