Summary
A Vacancy at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust.
We are looking for a Locum Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine, with additional interest in Anaesthesia. Applicants will join an established, enthusiastic team of 10 Consultants in Intensive Care Medicine to develop an expanded Consultant workforce, which will allow us to deliver a number of service improvements.
We are a 20-bed mixed-dependency unit admitting 1200-1400 patients per year from a variety of specialties, including a regional gynaecological cancer service, maxillofacial surgery, urology and vascular surgery.
The unit is supported by a 16-bed Surgical Step-Down unit, staffed by the Department of Anaesthesia, which admits higher-risk patients during the perioperative period as well as a respiratory support unit and a medical high-dependency unit. We are also well-supported by the Critical Care Outreach Service and a dedicated team of Specialty Doctors and Associate Specialists. Our existing Consultant team have interests in echocardiography, ultrasound, medico-legal issues, and high-fidelity simulation. We are fortunate enough to have a simulation suite within the ICU.
This is a 12 month fixed term post commencing in January 2025.
Interview dates will be arranged to suit potential candidates.
This is a full-time 10PA post but any candidate who wishes to work less than full time will be considered and supported, taking into account service needs. Additional sessions may be available on request.
The unit is well supported by middle grade & trainee cover both in and out of hours.
As a trusted organisation at the heart of our communities, we recognise the important role we can play in supporting the public, patients, our own people and local partners in achieving the best of health for the local population and the communities in which they live by providing Exceptional Care Together
Our fundamental Values of Compassion, Openness and Excellence underpin how we intend to work as a Trust and the associated behaviours are becoming embedded in all aspects of how we work.
In return we will offer:
• Development opportunities, including both professional and leadership development
• On-going support through every step of the way from recruitment to when you join our team and beyond.
• A variety of other staff benefits including employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership, onsite fitness classes, car schemes
Key Facts about our Trust:
• We see on average 4810 OP appointments per day.
• We are the 4th busiest Trauma & Orthopaedic outpatients department in England – an average of 2077 per week.
• An average of 1115 patients are seen in A&Es across our network every day – 3rd largest in the country.
• Our hospitals admit an average of 195 emergency patients daily.
• Last year we undertook almost 33,700 planned surgical operations in our 57 operating theatres.
• We are one of only 7 Trusts nationally with more than 50 operating theatres.
• We carry out more than 140 elective procedures each working day.
The Adult ICU at the Royal Derby Hospitals a new, customised PFI build with 20 beds rated Good in a recent CQC report. We admit over 1200 patients per year with a 60:40 split of medical to surgical admissions, 90 % of these being emergency admissions. We are a busy general ICU. The hospital provides a tertiary support service for hepatic and renal patients and in addition offers primary coronary angioplasty. We have a purpose built ICU with state of the art ultrasound, echo and imaging hardware and software. We are accredited for advanced training in Intensive Care medicine.
We introduced point of care echocardiography into our ICU 7 years ago and have developed a comprehensive echo service for our unit. We have two echo machines on the unit with TOE and TTE capability. In addition we have Echo PACS available on the unit to review all existing scans. We have a TTE and TOE high fidelity simulator that we use for staff training and to help deliver our nationally advertised ICU echocardiography course.
ICU consultants will have office space on the unit and there is shared secretarial support.
