Applications are welcome for the above 2 x fixed term, full time (40 hours per week) post based in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

The Royal Infirmary has one of the largest and busiest Critical Care departments in Scotland and one of the busiest in the UK with over 2500 admissions per annum.

The case mix is diverse, reflecting the acute nature of the hospital.

The campus also houses the Department of Clinical Neurosciences (Neurosurgery, Interventional Neuroradiology & Neurology).

The Royal Infirmary has an active solid organ transplantation programme for kidneys, pancreas and liver. In addition elective work includes liver, oesophageal, gastric and Whipple's resections. Cardiologists provide a supra-regional primary coronary intervention service. The Critical Care Directorate works closely with all these specialities, particularly the transplant and acute liver failure services.

There is a separate Cardiothoracic surgical ICU and HDU and a separate Renal and Transplant HDU.

The junior Critical Care Fellowship offers the opportunity to develop experience in the management of trauma patients and neuro-intensive care, severe acute respiratory failure, transplantation and major abdominal surgery and vascular surgery.

Under the supervision of the critical care consultants, the fellow will be expected to participate in clinical duties in Critical Care including communication with patients and their relatives, other disciplines and allied health professionals as appropriate.
