Description

Interviews will be scheduled for March 2024 with a view to commencing in role as soon as possible.

According to the published rota and job schedule you will provide a consultant-led, patient-centred, clinical service for the critical care department.

This includes a twice-daily review of all patients during the working week and daily review at weekends.

Decisions on all admissions or refusal of admissions must be consultant led, including for patients reviewed on the wards at the request of the critical care outreach team.

Where appropriate, therapeutic plans and actions should follow Trust-wide policies or those developed by the Critical Care Directorate.

These duties also cover emergency duties, including emergency work arising from on-call duties, relevant clinical diagnostic work, other patient treatment, attending relevant meetings about direct patient care and administration directly related to the above.

The academic and research activities of the Division are channelled through a number of academic centres in UCL.

The critical care consultants contribute actively to the educational and research components of the Bloomsbury Institute for Intensive Care Medicine, the Centre for Perioperative Medicine and have strong collaborative links with UCL Healthcare Engineering, Institute of Health Informatics and the Department for Targeted Intervention.

UCLH/UCL is a well-established Biomedical Research Centre and the research outputs from Critical Care and Peri-operative Medicine are ranked top within the UK (web of science).
