Description

The Critical Care Service sits with the Emergency Medicine Directorate. We have an established body of 12 consultant intensivists, currently providing a 1 in 12 on-call rota. Our current consultant cohort include 11 anaesthetic intensivists and 1 medical consultant intensivist (1 x Respiratory).

Quality and Safety are at the heart of what we aspire to do and as a result we rota two consultant intensivists to provide daytime critical care provision with at least two critical care residents.

One intensivist then remains resident in the hospital each night until 9pm followed by on-call from home.

We also have 7 Advanced Critical care practitioners (with 2 additional in training) with competencies in line insertion, and advanced airway skills who provide a 24/7 cover rota ensuring continuity and experience is always available on the unit.
