Consultant Intensive Care Medicine

We offer annualised contracts that allow for generous periods of time away from work. These posts are open to full-time intensivists and we are flexible and will therefore also accommodate those who wish to maintain clinical sessions in another specialty (e.g. anaesthesia, acute medicine, emergency medicine, respiratory medicine and nephrology).
These posts attract 10 programmed activities (PAs) and are offered as a split of 7.5 direct clinical care (DCC) and up to 2.5 supporting professional activities (SPA). SPA allocation is reviewed annually to ensure appropriate consultant skill development and career progression, whilst meeting the needs of the service.
All candidates must be eligible for full GMC registration and either already be on the Specialist Register or be within six months (of interview date) of receiving CCT/CESR, please provide supporting evidence. Please see the person specification listed.
