Job overview

We are seeking to appoint a full-time Locum Consultant Anaesthetist at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.


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).


The Divisional Director for CSD is Dr Thea De Beer and the Clinical Director for the Acute Pathway is Dr Hannah Sycamore.

There is, in addition, a Head of Service on each campus; Dr Sumera Hussain at the City Campus and Dr Chris Harber at the QMC campus, supported by four Deputy Heads of Service

Main duties of the job

Across the two campuses, including the Treatment Centre, there are a total of almost 60 operating theatres. All surgical specialties are covered between the two campuses.

With regard to specialties, Cardiac, Thoracic, Elective Orthopaedics, Renal, and Burns & Plastics are located at City campus, which is where a large amount of elective cancer surgery is performed.

The QMC anaesthetic department supports a significant acute surgical workload, including Trauma & Orthopaedics, Major Trauma, Neurosurgery and Spinal surgery, as well as Vascular, Colorectal and Hepatobiliary surgery.

All paediatric surgery is located at the QMC campus. NUH has been designated a Major Trauma Centre, providing specialist trauma care for most of the region.

Nottingham University Hospital's maternity units provide care for approximately 10,000 women each year.

A fully comprehensive service is provided, with facilities including midwifery and obstetric-led care, neonatal services, parent education, Hospital Hotel at City campus, aromatherapy, birthing pools and active birth equipment.

There is an Obstetric Anaesthetic antenatal clinic, which assesses high-risk mothers. There is a specialist Obstetric Consultant Anaesthetist on-call rota at each campus. We have recently established a perinatal level 2 (high dependency) service at City campus.


The QMC department also works with Critical Care to provide anaesthetic support to one of the busiest Emergency Departments in the UK.

Working for our organisation


A transformational programme 'Tomorrows NUH' is ongoing and seeking to reconfigure specialties between the campuses, moving towards a more polarised elective site (city campus) and a 'hot' emergency site (QMC campus).

This is a 10-year project but will see some significant changes over that period.


The Day Surgery service operates across two purpose built units: the Day Surgery Unit at City campus and the Nottingham NHS Treatment Centre on the QMC campus.

The units provide preoperative assessment, a total of seven theatres, and ambulatory recovery units.

In addition, the Short Stay Unit at the Treatment Centre enables provision for more complex surgery, as the service develops to provide new models of ambulatory care.

The Clinical Departments of Anaesthesia maintain close links with the University Department headed by Professor Jonathan Hardman. The Clinical and University departments collaborate to provide teaching for undergraduates in addition to all grades of anaesthetic trainees. Laboratory and clinical research can be undertaken and the development of individual and specialist research interests is encouraged.

Locally, specialty training in anaesthesia is managed by the East Midlands School of Anaesthesia, Health Education East Midlands. The Anaesthetic departments are actively involved in the training of specialty trainees at all levels.
