Summary
KEY SKILLS The core component of this post is to provide anaesthetic cover for a range of specialty lists. The post holder must understand the significant ongoing changes in the Trusts services and be prepared to take an active part in the change program. We have included a suggested job plan in Appendix 1, but the successful candidate will be invited to discuss these options with the Specialty and Departmental CSLs on appointment. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Teaching & Training The successful applicant would be expected to have an active interest in education. Our registrar anaesthetic training has recently been adapted to reflect the new RCOA Anaesthesia curriculum. We have recently invited applications for candidates wishing to pursue a CESR pathway. Training is coordinated by the specialty education leads but involves informal and formal teaching by all consultants. There is also a departmental programme of teaching mapped to RCOA examination requirements which is co-ordinated by the resident anaesthetic staff with support from consultants. UHB has an obligation to teach medical students and a commitment to the Birmingham and Warwickshire Schools of Anaesthesia. Involvement in structured teaching and lecturing to both these groups will be expected. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to apply for the post of Honorary Senior Lecturer in the University department of Medical Sciences.
