Consultant Intensivist

Applications are welcomed for a Consultant Intensivist, in a trust with a wide case mix in a spectacular part of the UK. We have one on the lowest ICU lengths of stay in the UK and manage two general intensive care units. The successful applicant will join a team of dedicated intensivists working in harmony to provide excellent patient care. Areas of special interests will be welcomed, both in anaesthesia& ICU.

As a Consultant you will be required to participate in Consultant Appraisal and Job Plan Reviews on an annual basis and the revalidation process in line with your professional registration.

We are a highly motivated and cohesive team dedicated to providing an excellent service for circa 1100-1200 patients admitted to our ICUs per annum. We have a well-developed outreach and critical care practitioner system. Our ICU data management is fully electronic.

Along with our anaesthetic colleagues we have been rated top 10 for training in the 2017 GMC trainees’ survey and we are the most popular unit in the deanery for ACCS trainees. We have a strong commitment to support, mentorship and development of all of our staff and have regular multidisciplinary meetings. We have friendly and patient-orientated relations with parent teams and clear patient flows through the ICU.

Due to our location we have a number of services not normally found in hospitals of our size including major trauma, vascular, renal, interventional cardiology and major head and neck surgery and this reflects in the broad spectrum of ICU admissions.

At NCIC, we have an ambition to deliver outstanding hospital and health services to half a million people.
