Senior Clinical Fellow - Anaesthetics

Job Summary

We are looking for forward-thinking individuals to join our department as Senior Fellows in Anaesthesia. We have a range of posts on offer with various clinical and/or research interests. Combined clinical and research fellowships are available in thoracic and upper GI anaesthesia, major head and neck / difficult airway, anaesthesia for major spinal and neurosurgery, obstetric anaesthesia & hepatobiliary anaesthesia, perioperative care, total intravenous anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, and emergency anaesthesia. These posts are open to post-fellowship trainees and post-CCT applicants would be especially welcomed. The posts include a contribution to out-of-hours service. These posts are for 12 months and start in August 2025.

The Anaesthetic Department works across the two campuses at NUH. Both parts of the department are cohesive and friendly units which take pride in providing a high standard of care in an excellent major teaching hospital environment.

The Anaesthetic Department enjoys close links with the Nottingham and East Midlands School of Anaesthesia and the University Department of Anaesthesia, Nottingham University. There are active postgraduate educational programmes.

Training recognition for most of these posts may require application for prospective approval to the Royal College of Anaesthetists. There will also be opportunities to get involved in audit, clinical governance, service improvement, and teaching activities.
