Crynodeb
We are offering an opportunity to join East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust at a very exciting time. This post for Clinical Fellows in Anaesthesia has been created to support the Essex and Suffolk Elective Orthopaedic Centre (ESEOC).
The successful applicants will join an established and enthusiastic team in delivering high quality anaesthesia on the Colchester site. These posts will be based in the purpose built Dame Clare Marx Building (DCMB, the home of ESEOC) where Clinical Fellows will be supported by visiting consultants from Ipswich and West Suffolk Hospitals as well as Colchester anaesthetists.
Posts to commence February 2026 for a fixed period of 12 months, possibly extendable by mutual agreement.
The post holders will be expected to provide anaesthesia for elective orthopaedic surgery with local consultant supervision. They will be expected to follow local guidelines and protocols, including enhanced recovery pathways.
The successful candidates would be expected to participate in the general Colchester on-call rota covering the 2 bed recovery in the Dame Clare Marx Building with a frequency of no greater than 1 in 8, provide support to the Foundation Doctor covering the 3 elective orthopaedic wards (up to 72 beds in total), assess deteriorating patients and escalate care as necessary (which could include the transfer of unstable patients to the main hospital critical care unit).
The Clinical Fellows have a substantial fixed commitment to ESOC, but will be expected to contribute to the general on call rota and work in all other areas as required.
The post holder undertakes to deputise from time to time for absent colleagues, and exceptionally to perform additional duties in emergencies or unforeseen circumstances. Responsibilities will include the supervision of junior staff, teaching, training and participation in departmental governance and quality improvement meetings.
We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes.
We are one of the largest NHS organisation in England, employing more than 12,000 staff.
We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.
Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.
Our philosophy is thatTime Mattersto everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.
We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.
If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
