About the role
East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust are looking to appoint a Specialty Doctor post in Anaesthesia. Applications are invited from suitably qualified doctors with extensive experience in obstetric anaesthesia.
ELHT is a busy hospital and the department covers anaesthetic services to all major surgical specialties including general surgery, urology, orthopaedics and trauma, gynaecology, ENT and maxillofacial surgery. We are a nominated vascular centre and tertiary referral centre for HPB. There is a busy obstetric unit with around 6500 deliveries per year. There is a midwifery led unit in Blackburn (separate site) and a co-located midwifery unit and consultant led unit in Burnley. We currently have a 28 bedded mixed critical care unit on the Blackburn site.
We are a friendly supportive department and are firmly committed to education. We will support any eligible specialty doctor through the CESR process with access to the required surgical specialties. There is also a regional CESR program which successful candidates will be able to apply for. We receive good feedback from trainees. We are ACSA accredited.
The successful candidate will be expected to provide preoperative assessment, perioperative and postoperative care to patients across both sites of this busy Teaching Hospital Trust.
