The chronic pain service is a small, busy, friendly & cohesive department with good clinical outcomes well regarded by the local population.

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual who will take part in the high quality delivery and development of chronic pain services on the Isle of Wight

We are currently 3 part time consultants (including this post), 3 physiotherapists, 1 specialist nurse.

The team has recently undertaken a restructuring exercise and is aiming to increase the psychology and movement based services offered those with intractable pain on the island and so are looking to increase our staffing within these disciplines.


We have good links with primary care providers on the Island, our triage services (spinal & lower limb), community musculoskeletal services, Wessex neurological Centre, Acute Pain and Palliative Care as well as the wider mental health services.

The Earl Mountbatten Hospice provides malignant pain control, respite services and terminal care and cooperates closely with the Hospital CPS.

The Anaesthetic Department

The department provides anesthetic services for general, ophthalmic, maxilla-facial, ENT, urological, orthopedics and gynecological surgery.

We have 7 operating theatres (4 main, 2 in a separate day's case unit, 1 eye satellite unit) and a dedicated obstetric theatre.

We also provide anaesthetic and resuscitation services to obstetrics, paediatrics, radiology, ECT and the ED. The relative geographical isolation means that all anaesthetists must maintain a wide range of core skills in order to be able to safely deliver these low frequency but high impact services

We are currently 15 consultants (including this post) and 18 specialty doctors.

We have a single training post in anesthesia (which is at present occupied by a FY2 post in Intensive Care) and have a training commitment to several ED doctors undertaking consultant accreditation via the CESR route as well as a constant influx of medical students.

The Department operates a mentor scheme for all new appointees.
