We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated consultant to join our department as a Locum Consultant in Intensive Care and Anaesthetics to support expansion of our ICU and anaesthetic workforce, starting February 2025.
Chelsea and Westminster Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the best performing Trusts in the country and, on the Chelsea site, has 20-bedded adult intensive care and a 2-bedded Burns Intensive Care facility. Some experience with critical care of severe burn-injured patients is desirable. Presently, 13 AICU beds are commissioned, and there are around 600 admissions per year to the ICU. The hospital performs a range of surgeries including colorectal, bariatrics and plastic surgical service. The hospital is a referral centre for high-risk obstetric patients. We have one of the largest HIV services in Europe and we are the only Burns centre in London.
In addition to the dedicated ICU consultant rota, there is a resident specialist trainee rota on ICU comprising a mix of anaesthesia, emergency medicine and medicine based doctors with trainees from anaesthesia at CT3+ level out of hours as well as resident FY2+ doctors on an SHO rota. We are supported by a 24-hour Critical Care Outreach Team and the hospital at night team, as well as the anaesthetic department as required.
