Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
We are looking for consultant anaesthetists to support a new theatre programme designed to maximise use of our theatres and improve theatre productivity. We are transitioning from a very flexible working pattern to a more fixed programme. Working days will be agreed with at least one theatre day being a specialty of the candidate's choosing. Whilst we are looking for generalists, we can accommodate a range of special interests including pre-assessment, peri-operative medicine, and obstetrics.
Our new ENT surgeon would like to develop paediatric services to address the long waits for surgery at Bristol Children's Hospital and an anaesthetist with an interest in DGH paediatric anaesthesia would be a welcome addition to the team. The increasing complexity of obstetric work means that we would also be very interested in advanced obstetric competencies.
