About the role
Salary: £113565.00 to £150569.00
The Anaesthetic department provides services
to three sites - Worcestershire Royal Hospital (WRH), Alexandra Hospital, and
Kidderminster Treatment Centre (KTC), encompassing all major specialities with a
strong countywide working ethos. Recent surgical reconfiguration means most
elective surgery will be delivered on the Alexandra Hospital site, while the
majority of emergency, trauma and obstetric work will be on the WRH site. KTC
functions as a day-case and short-stay surgical unit. Applicants will be required
to contribute to the general and obstetric on call rota. Clinical governance is fundamental to the
operational delivery of anaesthetic services and the new appointee will be
expected to contribute to clinical governance meetings (at present 11 per
annum), audits and medical education including simulation training within the
Trust. The department was proud to receive Anaesthesia Clinical Services
Accreditation (ACSA) in October 2018, recognising 100% compliance with ACSA
standards, and recently re-accredited. All candidates must be eligible for full
GMC registration and either already be on the Specialist Register or be within
6 months of receiving their CCT in Anaesthesia at the time of interview. FRCA
(or equivalent) is an essential qualification for this post.
The Anaesthetic Department welcomes applications from candidates with a broad range of anaesthetic interests. We would also be particularly interested to hear from candidates with an interest in Chronic Pain Management, given forthcoming opportunities to contribute to and support the Chronic Pain Management Service.
This job description, together with the job plan, will be reviewed annually and agreed with the Clinical Director and Divisional Director, on behalf of the Chief Medical Officer, to ensure that it continually reflects the areas of work, clinical responsibility of the post and purchaser requirements.
