Liverpool, United Kingdom Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Trust wishes to appoint a substantive Consultant in Critical Care Medicine (Single speciality, full time 10PA). The vacancy has arisen from a desire to convert a locum post into a substantive position to improve the resilience of the service.

Liverpool University Hospitals Foundation Trust is one of the largest teaching hospital trusts in the country. The combined Critical Care Departments comprise approximately 60 Critical Care beds.

The person appointed will be based at the Aintree site and will be a member of the Critical Care department within the Division of Surgery. Duties will be undertaken in conjunction with consultant colleagues.

Aintree University Hospital houses the supra-regional service for vascular surgery, maxillo-facial and ENT surgery, respiratory medicine and endocrinology as well as Acute Medicine and Emergency General surgery. Since 2012, Aintree has been the regional Major Trauma Centre as a part of Mersey and Cheshire Trauma Centre collaborative.

The Critical Care Department at UHA is a purpose built 26 bed combined Level 2 and 3 unit. The unit is funded for 14 beds at Level 3 and 12 at level 2. The actual daily composition of level 2 and 3 beds is fluid and depends on patient case-mix.

There are between 1200-1400 admissions per year of which 25% are elective surgical patients and approximately 500 level 3 patients are admitted annually. Approximately 90 patients per year require renal support. A full range of organ support is provided including RRT and PiCCO. There is a Critical Care follow-up clinic and an outreach service.

The unit benefits from dedicated cover from Medical Microbiology, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Speech & Language Therapy and Dietetics. We have a close working relationship with our colleagues in the regional Respiratory Centre and long term weaning unit (VIC- based at Aintree).

We are due to launch a new Critical Care specific Electronic Patient Record in the next 12 months which will bring exciting opportunities for audit and research.

The department provides 24/7 resident consultant intensivist cover and operates a truly 7 day service.

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
