Job summary
We are seeking to appoint a full-time Consultant in Critical Care Medicine based at the world-renowned Royal Brompton Hospital.

The successful applicant will work within Critical Care areas of the Royal Brompton Hospital, but there will be an opportunity for work across the Trust and the role will include outpatient clinics (e.g., ICU follow up)

The post holder will join the existing Critical Care team and will report to the cross-site director of critical care through the Royal Brompton Hospital Critical Care Leads. The post holder will also be required to support critical care services on any of the GSTT sites according to service needs.

In addition to holding full GMC registration and FRCA or equivalent, the successful candidate will be in possession of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) or be within 6 months of possession at the time of interview. A minimum of two years of experience in cardiac/cardiothoracic critical care is essential, as is experience and accreditation in adult critical care medicine.

Informal enquiries are encouraged and may be made to Dr Sarah Trenfield (sarah.trenfield@nhs.net) Clinical Lead for EICU/Director in Anaesthesia and or Dr Aimee Brame, (aimee.brame@nhs.net) InterimClinical Lead for AICU. or Dr Caterina Vlachou (a.vlachou@nhs.net) Operational Lead EICU

Main duties of the job
Applicants will participate in and contribute to the delivery of excellent Critical Care Medicine in the Level 2/3 Critical Care facilities, with an important focus on Governance, Education, Research and multispecialty/disciplinary collaboration that underpins excellence in Adult Intensive Care Medicine at the Royal Brompton Hospital.

Applicants are expected to participate in the on-call rotas, including critical care, extracorporeal support (e.g. ECMO) and patient retrieval (training opportunities), to ensure the highest standards of service provision. As a national Severe Acute Respiratory Failure centre, providing VV ECMO, and a tertiary centre for complex cardiac conditions, developmental opportunities exist.

About us
Our mission is to be the UK's leading specialist centre for heart and lung disease. We will achieve this mission through a strategy of focused growth in aspects of heart and lung treatment, such as congenital heart disease, arrhythmia, heart failure and advanced lung diseases. Our approach is based on:
  • The continual development of leading-edge services through clinical refinement and research
  • The effective and efficient delivery of core specialist treatment
  • The transition of appropriate routine services to other centres to release capacity for new interventions

Remaining an autonomous specialist organisation is central to preserving and building our strong clinical and organisational record. However, we are equally convinced of the importance of effective partnerships particularly with major academic bodies to ensure a continuing pipeline of innovations to develop future treatments.

We strive to recruit and retain the best staff as the dedication and skills of our employees lie at the heart of our organisation and ensure that our services are of the highest quality, safe and focused on our patients.

Job responsibilities
  • Work with the current team of Critical Care Consultants to deliver a high-quality critical care service at whatever location this is required
  • Work closely with colleagues to continue to maintain excellence within and assist in the ongoing development of a severe acute cardio-respiratory failure service including ECMO
  • Collaborate with the research program and lead research projects as appropriate
  • Collaborate with clinical and research data collection, and presentation
  • Participate fully in clinical audit and clinical governance for the Critical Care and ECMO services including attendance at relevant meetings
  • Undertake teaching and training locally and nationally
  • Contribute to local, national and international development of the Critical Care service as described above
