We are offering an opportunity to join East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust at a very exciting time.  This post for Clinical Fellows in Anaesthesia has been created to support the Essex and Suffolk Elective Orthopaedic Centre (ESEOC). 

The successful applicants will join an established and enthusiastic team in delivering high quality anaesthesia on the Colchester site.  These posts will be based in the purpose built Dame Clare Marx Building (DCMB, the home of ESEOC) where Clinical Fellows will be supported by visiting consultants from Ipswich and West Suffolk Hospitals as well as Colchester anaesthetists.

Posts to commence February 2026 for a fixed period of 12 months, possibly extendable by mutual agreement.

The post holders will be expected to provide anaesthesia for elective orthopaedic surgery with local consultant supervision.  They will be expected to follow local guidelines and protocols, including enhanced recovery pathways.

The successful candidates would be expected to participate in the general Colchester on-call rota covering the 2 bed recovery in the Dame Clare Marx Building with a frequency of no greater than 1 in 8, provide support to the Foundation Doctor covering the 3 elective orthopaedic wards (up to 72 beds in total), assess deteriorating patients and escalate care as necessary (which could include the transfer of unstable patients to the main hospital critical care unit). 

The Clinical Fellows have a substantial fixed commitment to ESOC, but will be expected to contribute to the general on call rota and work in all other areas as required.

The post holder undertakes to deputise from time to time for absent colleagues, and exceptionally to perform additional duties in emergencies or unforeseen circumstances. Responsibilities will include the supervision of junior staff, teaching, training and participation in departmental governance and quality improvement meetings.
