We are excited to invite applications for a Consultant in Anaesthesia within University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB). The current opportunity is for consultants to join the dedicated Anaesthetics team based at Birmingham Heartlands, Good Hope and Solihull hospitals. We are looking to appoint consultants with an interest in Vascular, Regional, peadiatric and colorectal anaesthesia and perioperative medicine. They will be expected to join the general on-call at Heartlands Hospital or the General and obstetric on call at Good Hope Hospital as part of the on-call commitment. The appointee will be expected to participate in the Divisional and Departmental quality improvement projects as well as undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. We are more than happy to arrange a call, or an informal visit, should you wish to discuss further. Please contact Clinical Service Lead for Anaesthetics Dr Saravanababu Gnanaseakaran - via email to saravanababu.gnanaseakaran@uhb.nhs.uk or to Mr Daniel Evans General Manager - daniel.evans@uhb.nhs.uk

The core component of this post is to provide anaesthetic cover for a variety of surgical services, if a consultant has a special interest is in Pain medicine then they will have a split job plan between Pain and Anaesthetics. The post holder must understand the significant ongoing changes in the Trusts services and be prepared to take an active part in the change program. A standard full time job plan will contain 10 programmed activities which could be filled by a variety of options from currently uncovered lists and flexible cover for consultant leave. A programmed activity will normally have a timetable value of 4 hours and a full-time consultant will normally devote 8 programmed activities to direct clinical care. The remaining programmed activities will be devoted to supporting professional activities. An example 10 PA job plan is indicated but the successful candidate will be invited to discuss these options with the Clinical Service Lead on appointment.
