Main duties of the job

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The post is a locum consultant post in anaesthesia based at The Royal London Hospital; the successful candidate may be asked to cover surgical lists at Barts or Mile End Hospital if required. The post holder will be an employee of BartsHealth and there may be future opportunities or requirements to work at one of the other hospitals in the Barts Health group.

This is a general post for a locum consultant anaesthetist. The appointee must be able to work flexibly and be able to cover all the specialities provided for at Barts & The Royal London Hospitals.

Applicants should possess full GMC registration, and either be on the Specialist Register or be within 6 months of receiving their Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) at the time of interview.

Specific Responsibilities
The department would expect consultants to work flexibly. However, the department will try to help consultants to develop and maintain areas of clinical expertise with some regular clinical commitments.

The initial contract will be for 10 programmed activities (PAs) as described in the 2003 consultant contract. These activities will be split between direct clinical care (DCC) and supporting professional activities (SPA). The SPA allocation will be 1PA per week (4 hours). The successful applicant may have the opportunity to offer to work additional DCC PAs per week but this will be subject to the service requirements of the department.
