Consultant Anaesthetist with an interest in ICU

The closing date is 18 January 2026

South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a committed, dynamic and enthusiastic Anaesthetic Consultant with an interest in Intensive Care to join our friendly, cohesive and ACSA accredited team.

The successful applicant will join a large team of 28 Consultants Anaesthetists at Warwick Hospital.

The Anaesthetic Department provides a comprehensive range of services including Colorectal, Urology, General Surgery, Breast Surgery, Trauma & Orthopaedics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, ENT, Oral & Max Finger surgery, Ophthalmology as well as dedicated robotic lists for Colorectal and Gynaecology.

The department is supported by a 7 bedded Critical Care unit.

A special interest in Intensive Care will complement current roles within the department.

There is a requirement to participate in out of hours on call rota including emergency theatre, obstetrics, paediatric emergencies and critical care.

Clinical Duties Specific to this post

The post is offered, based on 10 programmed activities (PA) as below:

Direct Clinical Care as part of the daytime ICU Consultant rota and the non-resident Anaesthetic Consultant on call.

The daytime ICU rota will incorporate 8 Intensivists and provides clinical cover over a two-week period. General Anaesthetic sessions are also incorporated into each individual job plan.

Direct clinical care includes all clinical and associated direct activity, e.g. pre- and post-operative care and communication. It is accepted that the content of different consultants' job plans will vary, but parity will be maintained by ensuring a balanced job plan for each consultant. This approach is taken to ensure a continuing and reasonable degree of flexibility both in terms of continuity of care and in facilitating cross-cover of sessions between consultants.

The actual content of programmed activities will be monitored periodically by use of a work diary at job plan review.

The ICU is actively involved in clinical research from time to time.
