Consultant Critical Care – Broomfield: Sponsorship Available

Job summary

Our Critical Care service is looking for a Consultant to join a inclusive, friendly team. We are an ambitious Division and successful individuals would be joining at a time where they can help shape the future with opportunity to meaningfully contribute to development of the Service.

You will be working with the other Critical Care Consultants to direct and deliver care to patients referred and admitted to the critical care unit, participating in the established on-call rota and service framework.

Your role will be to deliver critical care that meets the standards set out in the Intensive Care Society’s Guidelines on the Provision of Intensive Care Services (GPICS, edition 2), with specific reference to section 3.1., ensuring that the decision to admit a patient to critical care is made only after discussion with a Critical Care Consultant and ensure that all unplanned admissions to Critical Care occur within 4 hours of the decision to admit

So, if this sounds like the role for you, please apply today.

Main duties of the job

All MSE Critical Care Units operate on the “closed unit model”; critical care consultants are expected to work collaboratively with specialty teams but the final decisions on admission and discharge from critical care and the immediate day-to-day management is the responsibility of the attending critical care consultant.

You will be expected to participate in Multidisciplinary Team Meetings, to provide expert opinion to speciality colleagues when requested, particularly with a view to supporting discussions and decisions on treatment escalation planning if so asked and to communicate effectively with patients and their relatives, providing high-quality verbal and/ or written information and manage discussions regarding treatment escalation planning, resuscitation and end-of-life planning with sensitivity.

Appointees will, in conjunction with other Critical Care Consultants be directly responsible for the supervision of and training of junior doctors working within critical care. A high level of consultant oversight is expected.

Our Division benefits from excellent executive and operational support with a commitment to meet GPICS standards in full.
