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 and are for 12 months starting in August 2025.

The Anaesthetic Department works across the two campuses at NUH. Both parts of the department are cohesive and friendly units that 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.

2. Provide internal cover for colleagues on leave, which is included in the current banding allocation of this post.
3. Work flexibly, maintain a logbook and portfolio, engage with supervision, undergo medical appraisal, and develop a learning plan/PDP.
4. Comply with management arrangements, follow the guidelines on practice laid down by the General Medical Council’s “Maintaining Good Medical Practice”, and be accountable to the Trust for their actions and the quality of their work.
5. Comply with Trust Health and Safety policies, fulfil mandatory training requirements, and maintain a safe and healthy environment for patients, visitors, and staff.
6. Have knowledge of and employ the basic principles of infection control practice.
7. Maintain effective working relationships with anaesthetic, nursing, operating department, critical care, midwifery, and surgical colleagues.

There is an Anaesthetic Department based at each campus. Both are large and active departments which have close operational links with Theatres on each site. The Anaesthetic Departments are also integrated with the Critical Care and Pain Management Services, all being part of the Clinical Support Division (CSD).
