Locum Consultant in Anaesthesia
1 week ago
The cardiothoracic unit at the Hammersmith Hospital opened in 2009 following the amalgamation of the units at St Mary’s and Hammersmith Hospitals. As well as merging of the cardiothoracic surgical workload, a new 16-bedded unit was built for the care of post-operative patients. Since then, there has been a substantial expansion of surgical and cardiology services at the Hammersmith Hospital, with particular growth in structural heart procedures in the cardiac catheter laboratory - TAVI, PFO, Mitraclips - as well as electro-physiology services. Aortic work has also increased with the appointment of two new surgeons, and the Hammersmith Hospital is part of the regional aortic dissection rota, with the Harefield and Royal Brompton Hospitals. Post-operative intensive care for these complex cardiac cases is delivered by a dedicated team of consultants. In addition there has been a recent expansion in the number of consultant thoracic surgeons who are performing much higher numbers of cancer cases and emergency work. This has vastly increased the need for elective and emergency cardiothoracic anaesthetists.
In addition to cardiothoracic surgery, the Hammersmith Hospital has an expanding major cancer workload and is also a busy kidney and pancreas-kidney transplant centre.
The post includes a 1:8 on call component which will cover cardiac and thoracic emergencies in theatre as well as cath lab emergencies. There is a separate consultant anaesthetist covering general (non-cardiothoracic) emergencies. There is a resident anaesthetic registrar (ST4-7 level) and CT2/3 covering theatres out of hours.
At Imperial College Healthcare you can achieve extraordinary things with extraordinary people, working with leading clinicians pushing boundaries in patient care.
Become part of a vibrant team living our values - expert, kind, collaborative and aspirational. You’ll get an experience like no other and will fast forward your career.
Benefits include career development, flexible working and wellbeing, staff recognition scheme. Make use of optional benefits including Cycle to Work, car lease schemes, season ticket loan or membership options for onsite leisure facilities.
**This is a full-time post of 10 PAs**: 8 PAs for direct clinical care for elective work, 1 PA for on call and 1 SPA.
Timetable
Each ‘session’ of four hours attracts 1.25 PAs to include pre
- and postoperative care.
There are example weekly job plans included in the Job Description.
The on call commitment for the post holder will be a 1:8 non-resident rota. This will be covering cardiac and thoracic emergencies and the cardiac catheter laboratory.
The SPA allocation will be 1 per week (4 hours). SPA time is given to support continuing professional development, teaching, quality improvement and preparation for appraisal.
