Job description

We provide support and direct admission from our busy Emergency Department, which sees upwards of 130,000 patients annually, and we take complex external referrals.

Successful candidates will be supported to seek experience in these areas and will be supported in their preparation for specialty exams in Anaesthesia, Medicine, Surgery, or Emergency Medicine, through established educational collaboration with these departments at UCLH.

We welcome applicants with a background in Medicine, Anaesthesia, Emergency Medicine, or Surgery. The successful candidate will be appointed to a core trainee level rota. Previous critical care experience is desirable but not essential.

All applicants must be eligible for full registration with the GMC and have MBBS or equivalent. Desirable qualifications for this post include MRCP, MRCS, Primary FRCA, or MCEM (or equivalents).

Alongside fellowship work, there is also the opportunity to be involved with a variety of QI projects, teaching, and service development.
