Consultant Anaesthetist with An Interest in Cardiac

5 months ago


Brighton, United Kingdom 279 University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for a cardiac anaesthetist to take up a permanent full-time position within our supportive and forward-thinking team.

The primary responsibility of this role is for anaesthesia and post-operative critical care of patients attending the Sussex Cardiac Centre. There will also be the opportunity for non-cardiac anaesthetic clinical pursuits as part of the role within the wider Trust.

It is essential that the post-holder should hold the FRCA (or an equivalent qualification), have undertaken a minimum of 1 year of subspecialty training in cardiac anaesthesia, and be on the GMC specialist register (or will obtain a relevant CCT/CESR within 6 months of interview).

On-call duties require covering of emergency cardiothoracic surgical procedures and predictable and unpredictable care of patients on CICU (Cardiac Intensive Care Unit). Out-of-hours, there are Advance Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) and a middle-grade surgical cover of the CICU and the anaesthetic cover is provided for airway or ventilation emergencies by the senior trainees covering general theatres.

The post holder accepts that they will also perform duties in occasional emergencies and unforeseen circumstances at the request of the appropriate consultant, in consultation, where practicable, with their colleagues, both senior and junior. While it has been agreed between the professions that they will perform such duties, the Secretary of State stresses that additional commitments arising under this sub-section are exceptions and you should not be required to undertake work of this kind for prolonged periods or on a regular basis.

At UHSussex we’re proud to be at the heart of the NHS. As one of the UK’s largest acute Trusts, we’re a leading example of the excellence, the ambition and the values that have embodied the NHS for over 70 years.

**Improving lives**: We are a vibrant and inclusive organisation, with hardworking, talented and dedicated individuals, who work together towards a common goal, to always put our Patient First. Our mission is summed up by our ‘where better never stops’ motto and no matter the role at UHSussex, you will play a part in driving us forwards and in improving the lives of patients across Sussex. We treat our patients and staff with the same compassion and empathy we expect for ourselves. We’re here for them when they need us, and we go above and beyond to meet their needs. This can be seen in our wellbeing programme for staff which is extensive and designed to support you when you need it because we know that to look after others we must first look after ourselves.

**Build a career with us**: As a university trust and a leader in healthcare research, we value learning, teaching and training so that we can be the best that we can be. From the moment you start with us and throughout your career we will help you to grow and develop. We hope that in choosing UHSussex you are choosing a long and happy career where you will be able to see the difference you make and feel valued for all that you do.
