Job summary
Due to new funding we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Speech & Language Therapist/s to develop the critical care service across both Royal Shrewsbury (RSH) and Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) sites. We have WTE roles available and can support part time working. The current critical care units are comprised of 8 ITU and 6 HDU beds at the RSH site, and 6 ITU and 5 HDU beds at the PRH site. The case mix of the RSH Unit is slightly more surgical than the average District General Hospital Critical Care unit, as the majority of major elective and emergency surgical admissions occur on the Shrewsbury site. The case mix of the PRH Unit is slightly more medical than the average DGH Critical Care unit, due to the absence of emergency general surgical admissions at Telford. As part of the Trust's Hospital Transformation Programme, the Critical Care Unit eventually will be solely situated at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, with all emergency and acute services.
