Consultant Anaesthetist

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a full time Consultant Anaesthetist based at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, part of University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust. This is a wonderful opportunity for any new or senior consultant to join our welcoming, friendly well-established team of 25 consultants, 16 SAS Doctors as well as resident doctors,  supporting all general services of the hospital including a busy Emergency Department. You will develop your clinical skills and have opportunity to be involved with leadership, research and audit across all areas of anaesthesia.

As a consultant you will have opportunity to develop special interests in Obstetric Anaesthesia, Paediatrics and Regional Anaesthesia services. Our consultant-led Obstetric services are provided in a dedicated Women’s unit. Other surgical subspecialties include Colorectal, Breast, Endocrine, Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Trauma, Maxillo-facial, Ophthalmology, Urology and ENT.

Consultants at Lancaster also provide daytime theatre cover to Westmorland General Hospital, our elective surgical hub. Theatres at Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Westmoreland General Hospital have recently been fully refurbished.

The Trust comprises 5 sites, of which Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Furness General Hospital offer Intensive Care facilities and emergency departments. These ICUs are covered by a separate resident and consultant team out of hours.
