We invite candidates to apply for the position of Clinical Fellow in Critical Care, with an interest in ultrasound. This is a 6-month post based at Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital (BNHH).
BNHH has 18 critical care beds and receives over 1000 critical care admissions each year. We routinely manage complex surgical patients, as the hospital is a tertiary referral centre for peritoneal malignancy surgery. We also manage complex cardiology patients, as the hospital is the Trust hub for cardiology, with a 24-7 PPCI service.
A formal job plan will be agreed between the appointee and the clinical supervisor. The clinical duties willinclude those normally expected of a Clinical Fellow in a Critical Care unit of any general hospital in the UnitedKingdom.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn and develop ultrasound skills alongside experienced trainers in FUSIC Heart, Lung, Abdomen, Vascular, DVT and Haemodynamic modules.
The BNHH critical care department has 3 cart-based ultrasound machines, and soon 2 state of the art handhelds all with network/ archiving/storage capability. The successful applicant will have up to 10% protected time to develop their ultrasound skills.
