Job summary
Torbay and South Devon is a fantastic place to live and the Critical Care Department in Torbay Hospital is a great place to work. We invite applications for appointment to a substantive Intensive Care Medicine Consultant post at Torbay & South Devon NHS Foundation Trust.
Additional speciality and sub-speciality expertise is desirable (such as in acute medicine, emergency medicine, anaesthesia, perioperative medicine etc.) as are wider skills in service improvement, audit and governance, research, medical education, management and leadership.
Main duties of the job
Our on-call commitment has evolved to provide the highest quality consultant-delivered service whilst supporting a healthy work-life balance.

There are opportunities for additional non-ICU based clinical sessions in anaesthesia, acute medicine, emergency medicine, respiratory medicine or renal medicine by arrangement with the relevant teams. We welcome enquires about this aspect of the appointment
About us
Why Work With Us
Torbay hospital has a reputation as a friendly working environment with excellent trainee feedback and is a national innovator in many areas including critical care rehabilitation, day surgery and peri-operative medicine.

Please see our attached video link for a taster of what work-life balance means for many of us.
The hospital is part of the Building a Brighter Future wave of major rebuild and refurbishment, which is expected to include a new theatres build and will place a transformative digital environment at the heart of patient care.
