There are three cardiac and two thoracic operating theatres. Cardiac and thoracic lists run every day. There is an active mechanical support program and transplantation program for the management of advanced cardiac and respiratory failure. Acute and chronic pain services are provided by the department.

The appointee should have a minimum of four months experience in cardiothoracic anaesthesia, and consideration be given to other suitable candidates including those already in possession of their CCST or appropriately qualified overseas trainees.
This post is for 6 months initially with the possibility to extendable to 24 months, subject to satisfactory performance and the training needs of the individual Clinical Fellow. In general, the year will be divided into modules covering anaesthesia for adult cardiac surgery, thoracic surgery and cardiothoracic intensive care, with opportunities for research and skills in TOE. There may be opportunities to join the transplant retrieval team.
