Job description
Job responsibilities
The Anaesthetic Department at CUH provides highly specialised services for a range of surgical subspecialties. We undertake a full range of complex orthopaedic and plastic surgery. Addenbrookes is also the tertiary centre for Neurosciences, Transplantation, Complex Obstetrics, Vascular (including Interventional Radiology), OMFS, and Paediatrics for the East of England. Complex cancer surgery is undertaken in most specialties.
This 36-month fellowship programme in Anaesthetics and Intensive Care is aimed at applicants who are planning to apply for entry onto the GMC specialist register through the portfolio pathway for Anaesthetics.
The post offers the opportunity to develop and enhance experience in all anaesthetic subspecialties and services provided by a large tertiary teaching hospital. The programme consists of structured rotation through all anaesthetic modules providing the requisite evidence needed for a successful CESR application. This includes Neuro, Paediatrics, Pain management, ICM, and Cardiothoracics (currently undertaken at CTC at mid and south Essex trust at Basildon).
The CUH CESR program is now a regional programme and has additional training sites for year one of the Fellowship Programme. This could mean working at the North West Anglia Foundation Trust (Peterborough), East and North Hertfordshire NHS trust (Lister), or The Princess Alexandra Hospital (Harlow). All appointees spend the final two years at Cambridge University Hospitals.
By the end of year three, it is envisaged that all the successful applicants will have appropriate training and evidence to submit a successful Portfolio pathway application. The programme mirrors GMC and the Royal College of Anaesthetists requirements for the Portfolio pathway, including non-clinical components such as audits, participation in research, and opportunities for developing leadership and management skills as outlined in the 2021 curriculum.
Although this is not a recognised training post, the programme is supported by NHS England East of England (deanery) for the necessary funding for courses and support for an annual ARCP-like assessment for CESR training.
The final decision to grant the Portfolio pathway approval remains with the GMC, subject to approval by the Equivalence committee at the Royal College of Anaesthetists. On successfully completing the 3-year programme, all the fellows will be eligible to apply for one of our Senior Clinical Fellow (SCF) posts while they await their Portfolio pathway application to be processed by the GMC.
