There are over 30 operating theatres and other areas where anaesthesia contributes.We pride ourselves in being a progressive, fun, dedicated department, with monthly departmental business meetings, regular and ad hoc CPD sessions and a fantastic anaesthetic coffee room ("The Back Bar") which enable the development of strong personal and professional bonds within the department.From a management perspective we are a separate directorate with the surgical care group but work together to ensure efficient use of resources and to discuss future strategic policies.Plymouth is described as Britain's ocean city, offering an excellent work-life balance and plenty of opportunity to make the most of the outdoors - including the beaches of Cornwall and Devon and the moors.
Newquay and Exeter airport are a short drive away with national and international flights.
