Consultant in Anaesthetics - fixed term

We are seeking recruit 2 Locum Consultants on a full-time basis in anaesthesia (with or without an interest in critical care or obstetrics) to join our dynamic and inclusive team at The Rotherham Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The post-holder will work alongside the existing team of 31 consultants and 19 Associate specialists, specialty doctors and clinical fellows as well as 12 doctors in training from Health Education England (HEE). The Anaesthetic and critical care department serves a modern and recently expanded theatre and day surgery complex with adjacent ITU and HDU facilities. The department has an excellent reputation and enthusiasm for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and would welcome applicants with a teaching interest. The Trust has Associate Teaching Hospital status within the University of Sheffield Medical School.

Surgical specialties in the Trust include: general surgery (including laparoscopic colorectal surgery), orthopaedics, Obs & Gynae, urology, ENT, maxillofacial, breast surgery and ophthalmology. We run a busy pre-operative assessment service including cardiopulmonary exercise testing. We specialise in day case surgery (led by recent BADS president) and regional anaesthesia. The critical care unit consists of 6 funded ITU beds and 8 funded HDU beds. There are consultants with a special interest in critical care medicine. We have also appointed an Associate Specialist in intensive care to support the expanding department. We have FICE echo accreditation. There are many research opportunities within the Anaesthetic department and the trust as a whole. A consultant colleague is a professor with an active research portfolio and we make a significant contribution in terms of recruitment to prominent trials. Successful applicants will be encouraged to have an active part in furthering projects and quality improvements within the department. We have a wealth of managerial experience within the department with colleagues currently holding several senior roles within the Trust.
