Summary
A Vacancy at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to join our department as a Consultant Intensivist starting as soon as possible.
The ICU consultants work an annualised job plan with ICU commitments split during 2 weeks.
The onsite component is from 8 am to 8pm and on call from 8pm to 8am.
During the 6 non ICU weeks the consultants are required to attend the MDT and Speciality Mortality Review meeting and contribute to the teaching sessions on Thursday
When off-site but on-call consultants need to be available to return to the hospital within a 30 minutes.
In order to make up a full 10PA job plan, an anaesthetic post-holder will be allocated general theatres sessions (maternity sessions may also be available) and will have no further out-of-hours commitment. SPA time for appraisal, CPD and teaching etc. will be granted to be taken when not covering ICU. However there is a great deal of flexibility offered so a non-anaesthetic post-holder could either expand their clinical PAs within critical care or alternatively take sessions in eg. Acute Medicine or in the Emergency Department.
Annual leave and study leave is taken during non-ICU part of the roster. Where leave is required during rostered ITU time this will be swapped with a colleague. Clinical duties are calculated to be performed during 42 weeks per year, leaving 10 weeks to take annual leave, study/professional leave according to national agreements.
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is proud to be one of the top performing and safest trusts in England.
We have two main acute hospital sites—Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, plus our award-winning clinics across North West London and beyond.
