You will build a well-rounded portfolio of clinical experience, service development/audit, teaching and management.

We have an excellent track record of SCFs gaining entry into competitive training programs in Anaesthesia, Critical Care and other specialties.

Working for our organisation

NUH consists of the Queens Medical Centre Campus and the Nottingham City Hospital Campus. Duties will be based at both campuses.


On the QMC campus the critical care area is divided into a 29-bedded intensive care (level 3 beds) and a 20-bedded level 2 HDU.

The critical care area at the City campus has 17 beds that are used flexibly for level 2 and 3 care.
  • Between the three units we see approximately 4500 admissions per year. NUH is the East Midlands Major Trauma Centre and is one of the busiest trauma units in Europe. (During the covid pandemic we were able to increase our capacity significantly).


We are fortunate to have a large and skilled MDT to support the medical team in delivery of critical care to Nottingham and the wider catchment area.


Ours is a diverse and vibrant city having a busy and culturally exciting centre, two universities and yet close proximity to picturesque villages, the Peak District, Sherwood Forest and Rutland Water.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

We recommend that the appointee maintain a logbook of experience, complete appropriate assessments and participates in the wide range of non-clinical opportunities detailed below.


The Speciality

At QMC critical care receives referrals from major trauma and the following surgical specialties:
neurosurgery, spinal, emergency orthopaedics, hepatobiliary, vascular, lower GI, maxillofacial and ENT. It also receives referrals from acute medicine (including acute gastroenterology).

Of note, NUH became the East Midlands Major Trauma Centre in April 2012 and is the busiest Major Trauma Centre in the UK.
