Main duties of the job

The Intensive Care Unit currently consists of up to 10 level three and 12 level two beds split between two areas, one of which is a new, state of the art, purpose built extension including 8 level two bed spaces and 4 positive pressure lobby isolation rooms. Over 1400 patients are admitted annually with around 50% coming from surgical specialties. The Intensive Care Unit (together with the anaesthetic department) has become well known for using Enhanced Recovery and Goal Directed Fluid Therapy for major surgical cases. This has been particularly effective for the hepatobiliary and oesophagogastric patients. The hospital attracts many tertiary referral cases relating to hepatobiliary, oesophagogastric and robotic urological surgery. In particular specialist expertise has been developed in the management of severe acute pancreatitis, small liver/ hepatic failure in both surgical and medical patients and perforated oesophagus. It also serves a busy and interesting acute medical take and as such has a wide variety of medical admissions.

Critical care has a highly effective and successful Outreach service which the successful applicant will also gain valuable experience by being part of. A wide experience of patient management, practical interventions and both bedside and formal teaching are offered. Consultant supervision is available on a 24-hour basis from Consultant Intensivists.
