We have a broad range of elective services, with a diverse emergency workload, and a changing demographic with an increasing obstetric population. The Hospital is a major District General Hospital; a major trauma unit, a vascular centre, with comprehensive cancer services, providing over 30,000 anaesthetics per year, and over 4,000 births, with over 570 beds. We have 27 operating theatres and anaesthesia delivery areas and 18 critical care beds, with further expansion planned. We have recently opened an Enhanced Perioperative Care Unit to look after high-risk surgical cases.
We are looking for Consultants in Anaesthesia with a broad range of skills to become an active member of a flexible team of 64 consultants and 8 SAS anaesthetists. We deliver anaesthesia across 4 sites namely the Royal Cornwall Hospital, St Michael's Hospital, West Cornwall Hospital and St Austell Surgical Hub. There is agreed government funding for a new Women and Children’s extension to the hospital to include obstetric theatres, 2 paediatric theatres and 2 further theatres.
The requirements of application for the post in Obstetric Anaesthesia include experience at an Advanced Obstetric level. Wider skills in audit and governance, and management and leadership would be particularly desirable. Each job plan within the department is designed to deliver a balanced opportunity to enable professional and relationship development, to ensure quality anaesthetic provision and successful revalidation.
Opportunities exist for all consultants within the fields of teaching, academia, research, education and management and leadership. We endeavour to introduce all colleagues to these areas to ensure a collaborative and cohesive department. We are committed to balance well-being and professional interest throughout a career in Anaesthesia at the Royal Cornwall Hospital.
We are delighted to offer an interesting yet life-style compatible 1:30 general anaesthesia night-time on call and a consultant delivered CEPOD and TRAUMA service with excellent national outcomes. The Royal Cornwall Hospital is situated in the Cathedral city of Truro in the centre of the Cornish Peninsula. The surrounding countryside is renowned for its spectacular rural and coastal scenery. Cornwall is well known for its surfing beaches, coastal and inland sailing waters and numerous equestrian opportunities.
The Trust (RCHT) is part of the Cornwall Healthcare Community, working in partnership with other local trusts to deliver high quality healthcare services across the county. The Trust has close links to medical specialist services in the South-West Peninsula and beyond. Serving a widespread local population, as well as thousands of visitors to Cornwall each year, poses a number of unique healthcare challenges.
The strong heritage of Cornwall has been further enhanced with the opening of the Eden Project and the National Maritime Museum. Over recent years there has been an unprecedented growth in high quality restaurants and family orientated leisure facilities. The Trust delivers acute medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 570,000 and has a higher proportion of elderly people than the national average. The population more than doubles during the busy holiday periods.
We focus upon professional satisfaction and personal well-being, and we are fortunate that our work and social environment provides the facilities to do so.
