Join to apply for the Specialty Doctor in Anaesthetics role at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust.
This is a full-time post, based primarily within the Department of Anaesthetics at both Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Calderdale Royal Hospital. The post-holders will be expected to work on either site according to the needs of the service. The post offered will provide excellent experience in a District General Hospital setting for doctors who wish to continue pursuing a career in Anaesthetics out with a training rotation. The department has an excellent track record of progression for specialty doctors, including support for development, or entry into training programmes.
It is visualized that the successful appointee will participate in audit, service improvement, and quality initiatives that will support departmental development.
There will be an Educational Supervisor allocated to ensure support for professional development and a weekly protected half-day teaching session covering clinical and managerial topics.
Posts are offered on a full-time basis, but candidates who wish to work less than full-time are also encouraged to apply.
The appointee will take part in the ICU/anaesthesia on-call rota, either at Calderdale or Huddersfield depending on service requirements and prior discussion with the Clinical Directors.
In addition, the post-holder(s) will provide anaesthesia for elective and acute surgery in-hours with appropriate supervision. Surgical specialties provided by the Trust include ENT, Trauma & Orthopaedics, general, ophthalmic and urological surgery. Some paediatric work is undertaken within these specialties.
