Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine
2 weeks ago
Job summary
Critical Care in East Kent Hospitals is at an exciting period of redevelopment, having attracted national investment. A new 24-bed Critical Care facility has opened at the Willian Harvey Hospital, which includes bespoke training facilities, dedicated space for high fidelity simulation training, state of the art echocardiography equipment and critical care ultrasonography simulation training facilities.
We work closely with other specialties and offer opportunities to combine specialties. Whether you are looking for a single specialty role; dual with anaesthesia, acute or emergency medicine, respiratory medicine or renal medicine; or the opportunity for PAs in education at the new Kent and Medway Medical School, we can offer you a forward-thinking approach to flexible working and portfolio careers.
Main duties of the job
The new Critical Care facility opened in Spring 2022. The facility has spacious, light-filled patient accommodation, 8 negative pressure isolation rooms with positive pressure lobbies, a state-of-the art simulation suite and large multidisciplinary seminar and handover room with high-definition screens for teaching and video conferencing. It houses a large staff common room and rest facilities, on-call rooms and extensive office space.
East Kent Critical Care is a vibrant department, admitting around 1,000 patients each year. Many come to us after suffering an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and in cardiogenic shock, allowing our clinicians to use their strong clinical expertise in echocardiography and point of care ultrasonography.
The unit is equipped with the latest technology, including echocardiography equipment and Intellivent Adaptive Support Ventilation. The department has a strong reputation for ultrasound and echocardiography training, and a burgeoning research portfolio.
About us
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with three acute hospitals and community sites serving a local population of around 700, also provide specialist services for Kent and Medway.
We're on an exciting journey of transformation. With a new Medical School at the centre of our community, a focus on research, clinical leadership and making our trust a rewarding and friendly place to work, there's never been a better time to join us.
At East Kent, we will do all we can to help you grow a career around you, your family, your location and your interests.
