The contract will be for 10 programmed activities (PAs). It is envisaged that there will be a split on average of clinical duties into 5.5 PAs in Critical Care and 2.5 PAs in the associated specialty. However, there is some flexibility in this to accommodate specific clinical interests of the successful candidates, including the ability to offer a single specialty Critical Care job plan. Additional programmed activities to support a greater commitment to an allied specialty will be considered. Consultants work to deliver continuity of care on the unit. Activity is led by a consultant of the week (Mon-Thu 8am-6pm followed by Friday MDT Chair 11am-1pm). Weekends are split and rostered separately to support sustainable working patterns (Friday 8am-1pm/Saturday 24 hours or Friday/Sunday 24 hours). There is a second Consultant intensivist of the day (8am-1pm Mon-Fri) who supports unit activity and the Critical Care outreach service. The on-call Consultant takes handover from the daytime Consultant between 5pm and 6pm. Please see job description for further information.
