Locum Consultant in Anaesthesia
1 week ago
Applications are invited for a Locum Consultant in General Anaesthesia. This is a six-month post with the possibility of further extension.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic consultant who is eager to join the anaesthetic team at Whittington Health. This post is required for the delivery of high quality general anaesthetic care for patients attending for a variety of surgical procedures at the hospital.
We provide surgical services for general surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology and urology. We are a centre for bariatric surgery and perform approximately 200 cases per annum. Obstetric Anaesthesia cover is provided for the Maternity Department for approximately 3600 deliveries per year. There is, in addition, some paediatric work.
There will be some flexibility in the type of lists performed, and these lists can be tailored to an individual’s preference and clinical interests. However, our main area of need is for the pre-operative assessment clinic (POA) and spinal surgery.
The post holder will join a well-structured department that is renowned for providing high quality training for junior staff and is committed to delivering a professional service for patients. They will be required to contribute to and help develop the on-going activities of the department, including undergraduate and postgraduate education.
Please see the full Job Description and the Person Specification for further details about the job role.
Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
Duties of the post
The post holder will be performing a 10 PA (programmed activity) job, with approx. 8 PAs for direct clinical care, with 2.0 PAs given for supporting programmed activities initially.
There will be some flexibility in the type of lists performed, and these lists can be tailored to an individual’s preference and clinical interests. Flexibility may be required in the event of last minute staff shortages to ensure adequate skill mix and cover for lists.
The timetable and commitment would be appropriately amended for an individual who wished to work part time, in line with national agreements.
The theatre sessions will include fixed and flexible lists, which are used to cover consultant leave, urgent lists (utilised for cancer surgery and other urgent cases) or trauma and emergency lists.
We are particularly interested in consultants who can work flexibly and adapt to new working practices. This can involve, for example, a session dedicated to pre-operative assessment unit and sessions as “consultant of the day”, in a troubleshooting role, ensuring adequate anaesthetic cover for scheduled lists and emergency procedures on a given day.
Please see the attached job description and person specification for full details.
