Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine

3 weeks ago


Torquay, United Kingdom Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Torbay and South Devon is a fantastic place to live and the Critical Care Department at Torbay Hospital is a great place to work.

Additional specialty and sub-specialty expertise is desirable (such as in acute medicine, emergency medicine, anesthesia, perioperative medicine etc.) as are wider skills in service improvement, audit and governance, research, medical education, management and leadership.

Our on-call commitment has evolved to provide the highest quality consultant-delivered service whilst supporting a healthy work-life balance. Intensivists equally share a 1 in 11 non-resident on call rota, delivery of daytime ICU sessions, and sessions supporting the nurse led and delivered critical care outreach service (consultant outreach sessions currently Monday to Friday afternoons).

There are opportunities for additional non-ICU based clinical sessions e.g. in anesthesia, acute medicine, emergency medicine, respiratory medicine or renal medicine by arrangement with the relevant teams.

Torbay hospital has a reputation as a friendly working environment with excellent trainee feedback and is a national innovator in many areas including day surgery and peri-operative medicine.

Outside of the hospital, the area offers a great lifestyle with beautiful countryside from the stunning South Devon coastline with its sandy beaches and pebble coves to the rugged peaks of Dartmoor and the rolling South Hams.

Please see our attached video link for a taster of what work-life balance means in our department.

The hospital is part of the Building a Brighter Future wave of major rebuild and refurbishment, which is expected to include a new theatres build and will place a transformative digital environment at the heart of patient care. We have a state-of-the-art 14 bedded intensive care unit which is completely paperless using the Philips Intellispace Critical Care and Anesthesia (ICCA) clinical information system. Our critically ill patients also benefit from a nationally fully integrated multi-professional rehabilitation and follow-up service.

Applicants will need to be on the GMC Specialist Register with a CCT/EU equivalent certification before commencing this post. Applications are welcomed from those unable to work full-time for personal reasons or those wishing to job-share.
