LAS in Anaesthetics & Critical Care

Go back Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The closing date is 12 July 2026

This post is central to delivering effective patient care at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The post will be primarily based in Basingstoke but you may be asked to attend other sites as required.

The post holder will be on the resident Critical Care Rota on call rota. The on call duties will involve cover of the intensive care department and/or the operating theatres and obstetric anaesthesia.

Duties will include being part of the Senior Critical Care rota, covering theatres and the Critical Care Unit. Critical Care duties include handover regular ward rounds and assessment of critically unwell patients in A&E and on the wards, overseeing the emergency admissions. This is supported by a consultant in intensive care and consultant general anaesthetist, both non‑resident. The majority of clinical work will be in BNHH main theatres or Day Treatment Centre, anaesthetising for a variety of surgical specialties including General Surgery, Peritoneal Malignancy, Urology, O&G, Paediatrics and Trauma & Orthopaedics.

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites:
Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.

We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through our governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
