As a Consultant in Critical Care, you will join a collaborative team providing specialist care to critically ill patients across our organisation. You will work alongside Consultant colleagues to deliver a high-quality Critical Care service, participate in the on-call rota, and ensure patient care is delivered safely and effectively in line with GMC standards and best practice.
Working closely with Anaesthetic, Critical Care, Medical and Transfer Service colleagues, you will contribute to the delivery and continual development of services, supporting efficient use of resources and helping services operate within agreed budgets. The role requires flexibility to work within a nominally fixed timetable to meet the changing needs of patients and the service.
As a senior leader within the Directorate, you will promote effective multidisciplinary team working, undertake managerial responsibilities as required, supervise junior staff and contribute to appraisal and performance management processes. You will also ensure compliance with Trust and departmental policies and procedures.
Teaching and training are central to this role. You will support the education, supervision and career development of junior doctors and contribute to the training of medical students, nursing staff, paramedics and trainees from other specialties through partnerships with the University of Cambridge and the University of East Anglia.
Provide expert clinical leadership in the assessment, diagnosis and management of patients, ensuring timely decision-making, appropriate intervention and continuous review of care plans to deliver safe, effective and high-quality patient outcomes.
