Job description

We are looking for a Consultant Intensivist to join our critical care team at Hampshire Hospitals. We are a friendly, diverse team, with a range of special interests who work together, both clinically and educationally, to deliver outstanding care to our patients.

We welcome applicants on the Specialist Register for Intensive Care Medicine alone, as well as those trained in a complementary specialty, which may include Anaesthetics, Acute or Emergency Medicine. Applicants with equivalent training as evidenced by possession of Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) or Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (Combined Programmes) [CESR(GP)] may also apply, as may candidates currently going through the process of obtaining equivalence.

We welcome applications from experienced Consultants in Intensive Care Medicine, who may be looking to relocate to Hampshire, as well as those approaching the end of their training programmes. We would be happy to discuss relocation expenses that may arise following successful appointment.

Our critical care facilities include a 9bed ICU/HDU at RHCH (Winchester) and 18 Critical Care beds at BNHH (Basingstoke). Both units contribute to ICNARC and are active participants within the Thames Valley and Wessex Adult Critical Care Network.

This post is a substantive post for a consultant based on the Winchester site and will maintain the on-call at 1:8. ICU sessions will be based on the Winchester ICU/HDU with a 5-day week on a 1:8 rotation., There is potential for more work in critical care or the complementary specialty (up to a maximum of 12PA) on negotiation. Supporting professional activities (SPA) allowance starts at 1.5 PA, but we encourage individuals to develop roles and opportunities outside the department, some of which may be recognised in extra SPA time. Like all appointments to the Trust, successful candidates may be required to work at any of the hospital sites if the clinical service requires this. For candidates interested in developing or maintaining an interest in Transfer Medicine, there may be the opportunity to work with the regional Thames Valley & Wessex Transfer Service as part of the role. In addition, opportunities to work within medical education, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels can be explored.

The successful applicant will be expected to:

• support the delivery of a high-quality clinical care
• work flexibly dependent on the requirements of the department
• show a determination to meet or exceed the standards of the Patients' Charter
• assist in our determination to be a successful provider of a range of appropriate services to the local community.

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.

We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
