Summary
A Vacancy at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust.
Interviews are due to take place at the beginning of May.
You are warmly invited to apply for the post of Junior Clinical Fellow (JCF) - Foundation 2 level. There are two posts which have arisen due to gaps in the 2024/5 F2 training rotation. Both posts are based on the Critical Care Units at University Hospital. One post is for 12 months, starting in August 2024 and the other post is for 8 months, starting in December 2024.
JCFs admit and care for critically ill medical and surgical patients. They will gain excellent experience and skills, which will be applicable to any acute specialty.
The General Critical Care Unit has 27 funded beds and there is a separate Cardiothoracic Critical Care Unit with 14 funded beds. The Critical Care Units manage over 1600 admissions per year.
The JCFs will join the Junior Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) rota, which is staffed by anaesthetic, medical and surgical trainees. There is close supervision and support from the Consultant Intensivists and the Senior ICM Trainees.
N.B. We reserve the right to close a vacancy before the closing date if we receive a high volume of applications or if there has been a change in organisational priorities.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic and forward thinking department with a reputation for research and education. The General Critical Care Unit has twenty-seven funded beds and manages over 1600 admissions per year from medical and surgical specialties. There is a separate Cardiothoracic Critical Care Unit with 14 funded beds.
UHCW is the Major Trauma centre for the Central England Trauma Network, with an on–site helipad. Clinicians from critical care, anaesthesia and emergency medicine have links with the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance Service.
Multidisciplinary team working is fostered with a nurse-led approach to care, including a well-developed critical care outreach service. There is a multidisciplinary team brief every morning which is led by the nurse in charge of GCCU that day and the consultant team on duty. It is attended by Physiotherapists, Rehabilitation, Speech and Language Therapists, Pain Team Nurses, Research team, Major Trauma Co-ordinators, Critical care Outreach Team and Specialist Nurses for Organ Donation.
The team brief also includes the “Safety Huddle” where any patient safety incidents occurring in the previous 24 hours are highlighted so that actions taken and any learning points are disseminated to the rest of the team. Other multidisciplinary teams such as Nutrition and Dietetics and Microbiology also attend GCCU on a regular basis.
University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust, rated as good by the Care Quality Commission, is one of the largest teaching Trusts in the UK.
We are extremely proud of our skilled employees across our hospital sites in Coventry and Rugby, with high quality patient care positioned at the heart of everything we do.
Boasting some of the most modern facilities in Western Europe, the Trust is renowned for being at the forefront of research and innovation as part of its blossoming reputation as a national and international leader in healthcare.
By joining our exciting journey, you will form part of a passionate, talented team and will be able to access a wide range of learning and development opportunities.
There has never been a better time to join our team.
