Clinical fellow in Intensive Care Medicine ST 1 / 2

SHO role on the B36 Intensive Care Unit - routinely assisting on ward rounds, seeing appropriate ICU referrals, undertaking procedures and required administrative tasks.

We have an exciting opportunity for a junior clinical fellow to join our Intensive Care team. The RUH ICU admits approximately 1000 patients per year with 85% as emergencies, including critically unwell children. Our patient cohort is a 60% medical - 40% surgical split with a mean age of 61, average length of stay 2.7 days and a standardised mortality ratio of 0.93 (meaning that more of our patients survive compared to similar sized units). In December 2024 we move to a brand-new ward, B36, a 16 bed capacity across a number of negative, neutral and positive pressure ventilated rooms. The new ward will offer excellent facilities for both patients, their relatives and staff, with increased numbers of spaces to work and rest compared to our current unit.
Our unit is staffed by 2 consultants and 3 resident doctors (2 SHO, 1 SpR) as a minimum, 7 days a week. We offer multiple training opportunities throughout the week including radiology meetings, ICU follow up clinic, FUSIC club, ICM teaching aimed at our resident doctors and management / leadership opportunities for our more senior trainees. Our monthly journal club, M&M and clinical governance sessions are also good learning opportunities for doctors in training. We have a strong track record in research and quality improvement with several professors working in the department. We have a proven track record in helping our clinical fellows gain posts on competitive training programmes such as ACCS and anaesthesia., Working for our organisation
