Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The John Farman Intensive Care Unit (JVF ICU) is a 32-bedded Critical Care Unit admitting over 1800 adult patients annually. The medical case mix reflects the complex nature of the patients within Addenbrooke’s: significant numbers of admissions are from hepatology, haematology, nephrology and transplant medicine. Addenbrooke’s performs around 100 liver transplants annually and is the UK’s sole multivisceral transplant centre. Patients are admitted to the JVF ICU from all major specialties excluding cardiothoracics and neurosurgery.
NCCU is a mixed level 2/3 Critical Care Unit which currently comprises 27 beds and is dedicated to the management of patients with acute brain injury and major trauma. The NCCU has an international reputation for clinical and translational research, particularly in the areas of traumatic brain injury and neuroimaging. It was the first centre in the UK recognised for specialist training in Neurointensive Care. NCCU provides critical care for adult patients in the neurosciences (neurology, neurosurgery and stroke medicine) and to the East of England Major Trauma Network.
