Main duties of the job
The appointment is to the Trust, not to specific hospitals. The appointee will take his/her share of clinical responsibilities within the Department of Anaesthesia. This will include provision for perioperative assessment. In addition to duties within sub-speciality, the appointee will be required to provide anaesthesia for adult patients in all specialties as appropriate to his/her training and experience.
Develop a team with a strong emphasis on delivering a cross-site service.
Post-holders will be required to work on each site.
Comply with your agreed job plan, which is reviewed annually.
As a Consultant at BHRUT, the post involves prospective on-call duties which attract 1.25 PAs with a 5% uplift due to a frequency of 1:10 with planned weekends, which will include provision for adults as well as neonatal to teenage patients. The on-call is run in tandem with a second consultant due to the two hospital sites, and the on-call rota stipulates which site you cover on each date across the year.
Job responsibilities
Deputise in the absence of departmental colleagues in cases of annual leave and (where practicable) short-term sickness.
Contribute (in cooperation with the Audit Committee) on a regular basis to the clinical audit process undertaken within the Trust, and where appropriate at a broader regional level.
