Summary
Our complete commitment to developing careers means we’re looking for proactive, motivated, forward thinking, and dynamic individuals to join our clinical team. This post is an important part of our ongoing development of medical services at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, offering the successful applicant the opportunity to work closely with the existing ICU Consultants to provide a high standard of care across the Trust. We are seeking consultants with enthusiasm,
commitment, and drive to work closely with colleagues throughout the organisation and within the community to help lead the organisation.
You will have expertise in the resuscitation, stabilisation, and ongoing management of critically ill adults. The Critical Care Unit sees a wide range of medical and surgical emergencies, including regional specialties such as renal medicine, neurology, and tertiary cardiology. You would contribute to the teaching of junior medical staff and some nursing staff.
The post is a split post with direct clinical care sessions in both General Critical Care medicine and Anaesthesia; applicants with single ICM CCT or other second specialty would be welcomed, and early informal contact is advised.
The surgical specialties include General Surgery, Urology, Gynaecology, Vascular Surgery, Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, Plastic Surgery, ENT Surgery, Vascular Access Surgery and Obstetrics.
This post is suitable for those with an interest in Intensive Care
Medicine as well as General Anesthesia or other allied specialty.
The post will include an average one week of ICU ( Monday to
Friday ) every 4 weeks, undertaking a variety of work in Critical
Care and Outreach. The rest of the weeks the post holder is required
to undertake flexible sessions sessions in another specialty (e.g.,
anesthesia, acute medical specialties, or Emergency Medicine). The
post holder will be expected to be flexible in their approach to
working patterns, undertaking theatre work on any site when required. A strong commitment to the training and education of trainees and other staff members is also expected.
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
• Hertford County, Hertford
• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
