Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint LAS Specialty Registrar (ST4+) in Anaesthesia, with commencement dates in May 2025. The tenure of all posts is 6 months (possible extension if required). The posts do not attract a National Training Number.
The posts are based within the existing teams with access to departmental teaching and other developmental opportunities. Despite not being recognised as 'training posts' they allow doctors to improve the breadth and depth of their experience in Anaesthetics. We are very supportive of those considering the CESR route and have had several fellows be successful in this process.
Full registration with the GMC with a licence to practise is required, and if the appointee does not hold right of residence in the UK sponsorship will be required.
Main duties of the job
The Anaesthetic services are split across two sites; and are one of 3 major trauma centres in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Whilst in post there will be plenty of opportunity to become involved in teaching, audit, and research. The department run local courses for both the primary and final FRCA and strongly encourage clinical fellows to take part in those as needed.
The post itself will give the opportunity to rotate through the following sub-specialties - Cardiothoracic, Neuro-anaesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine, Obstetrics, Paediatrics, and General Anaesthesia for 3-month allocations. It would be expected that a Senior Clinical Fellow will be working with a degree of independence with senior consultant support and distant supervision available at all times. We would strongly support any audit and/or research interest, of which there is plenty to get involved with in the department. The post holder will be expected to take part in the on-call rota which is currently a 1 in 8. It is important to note that dependent upon previous experience; there may be a period of supernumerary work / local assessment prior to commencement on the on-call rota. In this period, basic pay will be applicable.
Job responsibilities
The post holder will work closely with colleagues to provide safe and holistic patient care. There will be the opportunity to do Paediatric Anaesthesia and Adult intensive care at hospitals not within our trust but whom we have a reciprocal arrangement with. (Sheffield Children’s Hospital and a busy local district general hospital)
