Locum Consultant in Critical Care

Consultants who are appointed will be expected to complete the required training to become Educational Supervisors and participate in departmental teaching and training. There will be opportunities to take up additional management and lead roles as consultants progress through their career. The successful applicant would be expected to have an active interest in the areas of both teaching and research. Our junior anaesthetic training has recently been adapted to reflect the new RCOA Anaesthesia curriculum. Due to the number of specialties covered at the Trust, we can deliver the vast majority of the curriculum across our four sites except advanced paediatric cases. We have therefore recently invited applications for trainees wishing to pursue a CESR pathway. Training is coordinated by the specialty education leads but involves informal and formal teaching by all consultants. There is also a departmental programme of teaching mapped to RCOA examination requirements which is coordinated by the junior anaesthetic staff with support from consultants. UHB has an obligation to teach medical students and a commitment to the Birmingham and Warwickshire School of Anaesthesia. Involvement in structured teaching and lecturing to both these groups will be expected. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to apply for the post of Honorary Senior Lecturer in the university department of medical sciences.
