Senior Clinical Fellow in ICM with special interest in ECHO
MN37
Fulfil your potential in hospitals that make history:
Charing Cross, Hammersmith, St Mary’s, Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea and Western Eye.
With five world-renowned hospitals, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is full of opportunity if you are looking to develop your healthcare career.
We are an NHS Trust of approximately 14,000 people, providing care for over a million and a half patients from north west London and beyond every year. We have a rich heritage and an ambitious vision for the future of our patients and local communities.
With our partners, Imperial College London, and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, we form Imperial College Academic Health Science Centre, one of 6 academic health science centres in the UK, working to ensure the rapid translation of research for better patient care and excellence in education.
We are proud of our heritage in innovation and we are early adopters of new insights in technologies, techniques and treatments for improving health.
Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity for an anaesthetic or ICM speciality doctor or trainee with an interest in ‘Echocardiography’ (trans-thoracic) to join the team at Hammersmith Hospital ICU to train in echocardiography competence to the level of BSE Level 1 (L1) or Advanced Critical Care Echocardiography (ACCE) accreditation. Alternatively, applicants with a more generic interest in point of care ultrasound can be supported in developing competencies towards accreditation in FUSIC (Focused Ultrasound in Intensive Care).
Post holders will be afforded an average of one day per week in Echo training if they are working towards L1 or ACCE accreditation. Time outside of clinical commitments will be afforded for relevant training towards FUSIC modules.
This post affords supervision, competencies and dedicated time commensurate with the requirements for special skills training in Echocardiography as described by the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine.
It is anticipated that about 25% of daytime activity will be protected for training in echocardiography and attendance at echocardiography lists (for accreditation), though by mutual agreement time can be afforded to facilitate any of the pre-requisite educational requirements of the relevant accreditation the post-holder is working towards.
Participation in the department’s governance, research and teaching activities will be expected.
Main duties of the job
The fellow will join a team of 14 Residents (SHOs) and 8 Middle Grade (Registrars) doctors.
The Registrar rota, which the fellow will work on is a 1 in 7 rota with prospective cover (nights and long days). The successful candidate is expected to work on the registrar rota and as such possess the skills commensurate to that of a speciality trainee in Intensive Care Medicine (including independent airway skills).
The shifts are from 08:00am (0800 for Registrars) -1800pm short days or from 08:00am to 21:00pm long days or 20:00pm to 09:00am nights
There will be scope to facilitate the fellow to develop non-clinical skills in parallel with the clinical experience e.g. in research, Q.I., audit and education.
