Clinical Fellowship in Neuroanaesthesia (ST7)

The fellow will be based primarily in neuro-theatres and the neuroradiology suite in the West Wing of the John Radcliffe Hospital, delivering anaesthesia to neurosurgical patients. When required, time may be spent delivering anaesthesia in other surgical specialties such as orthopaedics, transplant, vascular, upper GI, plastics, and ENT. This will be averaged over time and reviewed with their educational supervisor on a 3-monthly basis.

The fellowship program covers all aspects of neurosurgery, complex spinal surgery, and interventional neuroradiology. Additionally, there is an opportunity to develop skills in peri-operative medicine and neuroradiology. The trainee will be a member of the ST6-7 on-call group covering the West Wing and Neuro ICU, on an approximately 1:10 frequency. Annual and study leave arrangements must be coordinated within the department to ensure adequate clinical cover.

There will also be opportunities to gain experience in neuro-critical care. The Neuro-Critical Care Unit is a 16-bed unit providing care for a diverse patient population, both national and international.
