Summary
A Vacancy at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for ST5+, Specialty Doctors and Specialist Doctors in Intensive Care Medicine and / or Anaesthesia to join Retrieve, the South West Adult Critical Care Transfer Team as Transfer Doctors. The service is hosted by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust and has two operational bases within the region.
Retrieve provides a single point of contact for all adult critical care transfer referrals 24 hours a day. All calls are managed by a Duty Consultant who triages, coordinates and can provide remote decision-support if required. Over the 24 hour period Retrieve operates a dedicated transfer team from each of its operational bases – one in Launceston, Cornwall, covering the Peninsula sub-region (Devon/Cornwall) and one in Bristol covering the Severn sub-region (Gloucestershire to Somerset).
We are looking for dynamic, and enthusiastic Specialty Doctors and Trainees to undertake adult critical care transfers working alongside Duty Consultants and Transfer Practitioners to deliver the day-to-day service. You will receive training and experience in transfer medicine with the aim of achieving autonomous practice status (with remote consultant supervision) during your time with the service. Following an orientation and induction programme in the first weeks of the role, Transfer Doctors will be initially directly supervised by Retrieve Duty Consultants. Transfer Doctors are expected to progress and undergo formal assessment following which, more distant supervision may be used, depending on the clinical case and Duty Consultant decision. The post is therefore suitable for a doctor with Intensive Care Medicine and/or Anaesthesia experience who has the appropriate skillset to assess, resuscitate and stabilise critically unwell adult patients (including deliver advanced airway management) with remote supervision.
Retrieve is the South West’s dedicated Adult Critical Care Transfer Service. Commissioned by NHS England South West Specialised Commissioning, hosted by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust and supported by the South West Critical Care Network, it serves the Acute NHS Trusts within the region.
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff and over 100 different clinical services across 10 different sites, serving a core population of more than 500,000 people across South West England.
UHBW has been rated by the CQC as ‘Good’ overall and our staff are proud to deliver excellent care to the people of Bristol, Weston and beyond. As a forward-thinking multi-award winning Trust and a digital exemplar committed to improving patient care, our world-leading research and innovations are having a positive local and global impact. UHBW is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. As an equal opportunities employer actively working towards a diverse workforce we aim to recruit and retain a workforce which represents the rich diversity of the local population at all levels and are committed to designing our services around the needs of individual patients and those around them. Anonymous information will be used from your application in order to ensure we’re meeting our pledge.
