WestonsuperMare, United Kingdom University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust Full time

There never has been a more exciting time to join us; University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) and Weston Area Health Trust have joined to become one organisation. Our newly merged Trust has a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff, aiming to deliver exceptional local services for local people and specialist services across the South West. Together, we form one of the largest NHS trusts in the country.

The role will be based at Weston General Hospital, and will support the provision of general anaesthesia services for a variety of specialties, including Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Trauma & Orthopaedics, Gynaecology and Urology. There may be opportunity to work across the UHBW sites; however applicants should expect the majority of their work to focus on Weston. In addition to daytime sessions, the appointee will participate in the weekend on-call rota (1:7) and in the evening session (approx. 1:10) covering emergency operations until 20:00 every day. The Department of Anaesthesia supports the pre-operative assessment service, and as such the appointee will contribute to this area. As UHBW is a teaching trust with close links to the University of Bristol; the appointee will be committed to delivering excellent teaching and training.

The Department of Anaesthesia provides cover for a range of specialties across all UHBW sites. This post will primarily be based in Weston General Hospital, where the specialties offered include general surgery (upper GI and colorectal), urology, orthopaedics (including hip and knee arthroplasty), gynaecology, and breast surgery. There is a trauma list each weekday and, in addition, there are regular CEPOD lists each week. Other major specialties are offered at the Bristol sites, including maxillofacial, ENT, dental, obstetrics, thoracic and ophthalmic surgery.

At Weston General Hospital, there are four theatres in the main operating theatre suite, three of which are equipped with a laminar flow facility. A self-contained Day Case Unit is also situated on the surgical floor and has two theatres and space for 22 trolleys. There is a low risk maternity unit run by midwives. Mothers who require intervention in labour - such as Caesarean section - are transferred to Bristol. There is no epidural service provided at Weston. T
