Main Duties of the job

The Intensive Care Unit is a mixed level 3 / level 2 facility providing comprehensive critical care to all adult patients for all specialties provided by the hospital The unit typically admits around 1000 critical care patients/ year with a 50/50 level 2 level 3 case mix and around 70 % of the cases being emergency admissions. ICNARC CMP and QSIS dashboard data shows the ICU consistently delivers outcomes and quality of acre at or above expected levels and the service has been very well evaluated by the CQC being ranked as either good or outstanding in all 5 QC domains.

The Critical Care Unit is staffed by the Department of Critical Care on a 10 consultant ICM rota, consultants have no other commitments when on call for ICU either within or out of hours. Anaesthesia services are provided by a completely separately staffed rota. Current working patterns are 2 consultants daytime on ICU (one 08.00-16.00 and one 08.00-21.30) with a single consultant providing non-resident OOH cover overnight.

The majority, but not all of the current Intensive Care Consultants also undertake regular sessions in the anaesthesia service and the illustrative job plan includes anaesthesia sessions. For applicants whose other speciality interest is not anaesthesia, other areas of non-ICM speciality interest may also be supported and we would strongly encourage colleagues who wish to pursue other speciality interests to contact us to discuss that in more
detail.
