You will provide general and regional anaesthesia for a range of surgical specialities including orthopaedics, general surgery and colorectal surgery.

This expansion will double our orthopaedic activity and increase general surgical activity by 160% Our suite of 15 theatres is increasing to 26, opening in stages between 2023-2025.

The clinical work will include anaesthetic services in theatre, pre-assessment and supporting the Acute Pain Service with job plans either covering on-call or Saturday working. This can be discussed further on enquiry about post.
