Applicants must be fully registered with the General Medical Council and be included on the Specialist Register, or be within six months of obtaining CCT at time of interview.


The role of the Critical Care consultant is to provide timely admission and administration of critical care interventions to patients.

The role requires the consultant to lead and direct activity on the Critical Care Unit, including twice daily ward rounds and providing support to the wards and outreach services when required.

There is a requirement to supervise and educate trainees. The working pattern is that of a consultant of the week in order to provide continuity of patient care.

Applicants are welcomed with Anaesthesia as the accompanying area of interest.


There is opportunity to provide anaesthetic support to a host of surgical specialties including general and colorectal surgery, urology, ENT, Maxillofacial, orthopaedic and trauma.

Sessions are also provided in paediatrics, radiology, endoscopy and radiotherapy.


All new colleagues can expect to receive a warm and friendly Wirral welcome from the very first time they make contact with us.
