Considering a seachange?

Our client offers a fantastic place to live and the Critical Care Department is a great place to work. Due to retirement, we are seeking applications for appointment to a Intensive Care Medicine Consultant.

Main duties of the job

Additional specialty and sub-specialty expertise is desirable (such as in acute medicine, emergency medicine, anesthesia, perioperative medicine etc.) as are wider skills in service improvement, audit and governance, research, medical education, management and leadership. The on-call commitment has evolved to provide the highest quality consultant-delivered service whilst supporting a healthy work-life balance. Intensivists equally share a 1 in 11 non-resident on call rota, delivery of daytime ICU sessions, and sessions supporting the nurse led and delivered critical care outreach service (consultant outreach sessions currently Monday to Friday afternoons). There are opportunities for additional non-ICU based clinical sessions e.g. in anesthesia, acute medicine, emergency medicine, respiratory medicine or renal medicine by arrangement with the relevant teams.

Qualifications and training
Essential

• Full GMC Registration (with licence to practice).
• CCT Specialist Registration in Intensive Care Medicine
• Minimum of English Level 2 (GCSE grade C or equivalent), IELTS or graduate of a UK Medical School.

About the client and location

Our client has a reputation as a friendly working environment with excellent trainee feedback and is a national innovator in many areas including day surgery and peri-operative medicine. Outside of the hospital, the area offers a great lifestyle with beautiful countryside from the stunning South Devon coastline with its sandy beaches and pebble coves to the rugged peaks of Dartmoor and the rolling South Hams. Please see our attached video link for a taster of what work-life balance means in our department. Our client operates a state-of-the-art 14 bedded intensive care unit which is completely paperless using the Philips Intellispace Critical Care and Anesthesia (ICCA) clinical information system. Critically ill patients also benefit from a nationally fully integrated multi-professional rehabilitation and follow-up service.

Applicants are required to be on the GMC Specialist Register, or within six months of their expected date of receipt of a CCT/EU equivalent certification at the time of interview. Applications are welcomed from those unable to work full-time for personal reasons or those wishing to job-share.
