Specialty Doctor Anaesthetics

The appointee will be expected to provide anaesthesia for elective and emergency cases.

The department provides services for general surgery, ophthalmology, maxillofacial, ENT, urology, orthopaedics and gynaecological surgery. We also provide anaesthetic services to obstetrics, paediatrics, radiology, ECT and the ED. The relative geographical isolation means that all anaesthetists must maintain a wide range of skills. The theatre footprint consists of 4 operating theatres and 2 separate day case operating theatres. There is a dedicated obstetric theatre and ophthalmic theatre.

We are a friendly, genuinely supportive and active department looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual who will take part in the high quality delivery and development of the anaesthetic services on the Isle of Wight. Many of our current specialty doctors have trained overseas and successfully undertaken their first NHS post with us. We are committed to providing all new staff a safe and well supported settling in period. We are keen to support development in anaesthetic sub specialities the applicant may be less confident in.

The Specialty doctor job plan is based on a 10 session (PA) contract. Applicants wishing to work less than full time are welcomed. The job plan includes 1.5 sessions for continuing professional development to facilitate revalidation. Further professional responsibilities will receive appropriate SPA remuneration when agreed at annual job planning.

The anaesthetic rota is organised 6 weeks in advance so duties are known well ahead of time.

SAS support & development.

This Trust values its SAS doctors and is keen to support & engage them, the role is well developed in all specialities and excellent opportunities exist for education and personal development.

The Trust Board supports and is actively implementing the SAS charter. There is an active SAS Committee, SAS Chair, SAS Advocate & SAS Tutor. All SAS staff have the same core SPA for revalidation & annual leave accrual as their consultant colleagues. All newly appointed Specialty doctors will be appointed a Consultant mentor to allow familiarisation with local ways of working and to act as a point of contact for any settling in issues.

There is also a well organised CESR programme linked with PUHT & many other development opportunities.
