    4 x Senior Clinical Fellow in Obstetric Anaesthesia

    This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced anaesthetist who has interest and aptitude in obstetric anaesthesia. The post is suitable for an ST4+ level trainee or a candidate with equivalent anaesthesia experience and competence. Applicants must have completed Stage 1 training and the Primary FRCA examination (or equivalent overseas qualification) and must be competent in siting labour epidurals/ CSEs and in the initial assessment and stabilisation of obstetric emergencies.

Fellows will be offered dedicated time off to facilitate projects and teaching during the fellowship period. Support will be provided as required in terms of Portfolio improvement, interview preparation, and career advice/ guidance.

  • Job description

    Job responsibilities

    The Maternity Unit caters for high- and low-risk cases and a philosophy of midwife-led care co-exists with high-risk interventional obstetrics. The delivery rate is currently > 6000 per year.

    The epidural rate is ~50%. Regional anaesthesia is used in ~90% of caesarean sections. Our caesarean section rate is ~30%.

    We provide a joint cardiac service working with the adult congenital heart disease team at the Royal Brompton Hospital, and Professor M Johnson and his team of maternal medicine specialists, to deliver approximately 100 women per year with complex heart disease.

    We are a service provider for patients with abnormally invasive placenta and accept regional case referrals of these parturients.

    The Chelsea & Westminster Hospital is the centre for in-utero transfers of neonates who require surgery within West London and we provide Level 3 neonatal care for premature and sick babies. The Trust is the lead centre for paediatric surgery in West London.

    There are two dedicated obstetric theatres, and a 5-bedded nurse-led recovery and HDU area. We run elective caesarean section lists daily, alongside emergency cases. We are actively exploring a dedicated elective theatre pathway away from the main Labour Ward in line with EMBRACE recommendations.

    The private maternity unit has a separate resident consultant on-call rota providing cover out of hours.
