The provision of 24/7 intensive care consultant led service is a high priority for WCH and is reflected in the move to cross site working and in this advertisement. Resident staffing has been supported by recruitment of Advanced Critical Care nurse Practitioners and the long term strategy is for a dedicated ICU resident on the WCH site.
