Cardiff, Cardiff, United Kingdom NHS Full time
Senior Clinical Fellow in Adult Intensive Care Medicine

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic team in the development of a national Critical Care Transfer Service for Wales. The service aims to provide high-quality intensive care during the inter-hospital transfer of critically ill patients.

We are seeking experienced, motivated, and enthusiastic senior retrieval and transfer medicine specialists to support the development of this bespoke service for Wales. If you want to join a progressive and caring healthcare organisation, responding to the needs of the Welsh community, then we would like to hear from you.

Main Duties of the Job

The Retrieval and Transfer physician will deploy in a team alongside a support worker and a retrieval and transfer practitioner drawn from a pool of nurses and allied health professionals with extensive intensive care experience and specific training in inter-facility critical care transfer. ACCTS in partnership with WAA/EMRTS will operate a rotary wing model of retrieval and transfer to support long-distance transfers.

Upon completion of appropriate training and a period of targeted clinical experience, it would be expected that you would then take up a full part in the duty rota. The ability to work both day and night shifts is an essential part of the role.

There may be a need to travel to our various bases, across Wales, for education and service delivery requirements. All candidates would be expected to contribute to twilight or overnight cover.
