A twelve-month Locum Consultant Anaesthetist position is available to start as soon as possible. We are delighted at your interest in joining our Anae...
There is increasing demand for anaesthetic support for procedures away from theatres, with endoscopy, interventional radiology and radiotherapy being at the forefront of expansion recently. These are relatively new areas of demand, and along with an expansion of elective obstetrics and obstetric clinics offers a new consultant niche areas to organise and streamline. We are also expanding our pre-assessment service including a greater provision of consultant-led high-risk anaesthetic clinics and CPET.
The department has historically led the way in holding senior deanery roles and we would look to new consultants to join our group of educational supervisors.
Work has started on a purpose built, modular, ambulatory care centre - the Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre (CASIC) - in the grounds of the RSFT that will give us additional capacity of 6 new theatres and associated facilities. Expected to come online in 2026, this exciting development opens up new opportunities to appointees. This will include involvement in planning new protocols and pathways for the area.
Royal Surrey is a compassionate and collaborative acute and community Trust. Recognising that our 5,000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing programme alongside a strong commitment to developing your career. Our diverse and welcoming Royal Surrey family ensures you feel valued from your initial interview and throughout your time with us.
We are clinically led and provide joined-up care by bridging hospital and community services, alongside delivering regional specialist cancer care. Our main acute hospital site is in Guildford, with community sites at Milford, Haslemere and Cranleigh, and services delivered in patients' homes across Guildford and Waverley.
We work in partnership with Ashford & St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust through a collaborative Group Model, supporting joined-up services, workforce flexibility and development opportunities.
