Anaesthetics Clinical CESR Fellow (ST5+)

This is a new initiative within Barts Health Trust and is designed as a 'run through' 3-year training scheme, set across 4 of our hospital sites; St Bartholomew's Hospital, Newham University Hospital, Whipps Cross Hospital and The Royal London Hospital. This is offered as a 24-month contract to rotate through the hospitals, with an additional 12 months to support Specialist Interest Areas (S.I.A's) as required. We will follow the current training programme requirements, as set out in the 2021 CCT in Anaesthetics Curriculum guidance for stages 2 and 3 to include both the clinical domains and the General Medical Council's (GMC) generic professional capabilities. The programme has been set up to give fellows the opportunity to develop all the necessary competencies and collect all the required portfolio evidence to support an application for GMC Specialist Registration via the CESR route. The final decision to grant the CESR equivalence rests with the GMC and the Royal College of
Anaesthetists (RCOA).

Main duties of the job

On successful completion of our 3-year programme, the fellows will have an opportunity to apply for one of our Trust-wide Fellow posts, whilst awaiting the CESR application process by the GMC.

These fellows will be appointed to the anaesthetic department and will be accountable to the Clinical Director within each site. Clinical Supervisors will be allocated on commencement of the job and Educational Supervisors will be allocated for each hospital within the rotation.

Applicants should be fully registered with the GMC; allowing them to work in the UK, and have an FRCA or equivalent qualification, along with at least 2 years anaesthetic experience in the National Health Service (NHS), at the time of interview.

The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.

Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.

We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate, and support an inclusive working environment where staff treat one another with dignity and respect. We aim to create an equitable working environment where every individual can fulfil their potential.
