Locum Consultant Anaesthetist (Ophthalmology)

We have two positions available across our hospital sites:

The anaesthetist at Northwick Park (post 1) will have 4 theatre lists per week which amount to 4.5 PA +0.25 PA for admin +1.5 SPA + 0.25 PA for Clinical Governance for a total of 6.5 PA.

The anaesthetist at Ealing and Potters Bar (post 2) will have 5 theatre lists per week which amount to 5.625 PA +0.25 PA for admin + 1.5 SPA +0.25 PA for Clinical Governance for a total of 7.625 PA

The hours for post 1 and post 2 are: AM session 08:30 - 12:30 and PM session 13:00 - 17:00.

The locum consultants have a continuing responsibility for the care of patients in their charge, and for the proper functioning of the service. The post holders are expected to maintain an efficient service, maximising use of theatre time and working flexibly to ensure the smooth running of the operating department.

The locum consultants are expected to participate in clinical governance and audit, to meet annual training requirements, and to satisfy the annual requirement for continuous professional development set out by The Royal College of Anaesthetists. They will participate in the Trust's appraisal scheme.

Operating theatres are normally open between 08.30 to 17.00 weekdays.

The posts are based at Moorfields Eye Hospital Northwest sites which include Northwick Park, Ealing and Potters Bar.

The post holders will be expected to work flexibly to facilitate service provision when colleagues are absent. Many patients undergo surgery with local anaesthesia, and all are done as a day case. The lack of many services that would be found in a general hospital means that the anaesthetic service is more than usual relied upon for perioperative patient care.

In addition to clinical duties, the new appointee would be expected to participate in departmental activities including management, teaching and audit.
