The Whittington Integrated Care Organisation (ICO) is inviting applications for the position of Consultants in General Anaesthesia. These roles include both a replacement due to retirement and a newly created position.
We are looking to appoint enthusiastic and dynamic consultants eager to join the anaesthetic team at Whittington Health. The posts are required for the delivery of high quality general anaesthetic care for patients attending for variety of surgical procedures at the hospital.
We provide surgical services for general surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology and urology. We are a centre for bariatric surgery and perform approximately 200 cases per annum. Obstetric Anaesthesia cover is provided for the Maternity Department for approximately 3600 deliveries per year. There is, in addition, some paediatric work.
There will be some flexibility in the type of lists performed, and these lists can be tailored to an individual’s preference and clinical interests. However, our main area of need is for the pre-operative assessment clinic (POA) and spinal surgery.
Candidates must be on the GMC’s Specialist Register or within 6 months of CCT at time of interview.
Interview date: 12 June 2025.

Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
