LOCATION OF DUTIES
Duties will be primarily based on Ealing and Northwick Park sites.
The post holder should be prepared to perform duties in occasional emergencies and unforeseen circumstances. Commitments arising in such circumstances are however exceptional and the post holder will not be required to undertake work of this kind for
prolonged periods or on a regular basis. All efforts will be made to ensure that work of this kind does not result in continuous hours of duty which exceed the New Deal continuous hours of duty limits., The anaesthetic department is highly regarded in the region as a centre of excellence for anaesthetic educational initiatives, with our friendly reputation for supporting and training anaesthetic trainees
and locally employed doctors. We have consultants with additional roles as Royal College of Anaesthetists examiners (including lead examiner) and London School of Anaesthesia training program directors. We desire all our team to achieve their maximal potential! Our success speaks
for itself- many of our recent trainees have chosen to return as substantive consultants, most of our locally employed doctors and trainees have successfully achieved their FRCA exam with us, gained
national training numbers and even specialist registration via the GMCs portfolio pathway.
We have recently set up a highly sought after CESR/portfolio pathway program.
This post is ideal for a junior anaesthetist and it is essential that candidates have a minimum of 6 months
experience in anaesthesia and have evidence of achieving their Initial Assessment of Competence (IAC) or equivalent. There will be opportunities for the successful applicant to gain further clinical
experience, with potential to develop educational, management and quality improvement initiatives to support their own professional development. It could also provide a route to either applying for a
Specialist Training number or following an alternative path, such as the CESR/portfolio pathway route.
