The department of Anaesthesia at University Hospital Ayr comprises of 43 Consultants, 15 SAS doctors, 20 Trainee Anaesthetists and 3 Anaesthesia Associate trainees. The posts will involve delivering anaesthesia and perioperative care for a variety of surgical specialties, with opportunities to develop sub-specialty interests including perioperative medicine and regional anaesthesia.

NHS Ayrshire & Arran is undergoing transformational change, with UHA being developed as a centre of excellence for orthopaedic elective surgery. The specialties of General Surgery, Interventional Radiology, Ophthalmology and Urology are also being developed. There is an 8 bedded level 2 critical care facility in which there is support provided by the anaesthetic department for advice.

UHC is the trauma unit for NHSAA. Obstetric and Paediatric Anaesthesia is centralised to the UHC campus in addition to ENT, Gynaecology and maxillofacial surgery. There are 12 level 3 critical care beds on the UHC campus.

In addition to clinical work, many members of the team are supported to perform regional and national posts including examining for the Royal College of Anaesthetists. There is a wide range of teaching opportunities available both undergraduate and post graduate. NHS Ayrshire & Arran have established a nationally recognised Medical Peer Support Programme with formally trained Mentors.

We are able to support specialty doctors who wish to pursue the CESR route of entry to the GMC specialist register.

Ayrshire is a great place to live and work, with a great coastal location and wide open sandy beaches. This offers exciting leisure opportunities including water-based activities such as sailing, kite-surfing and paddle-boarding.
