A Vacancy at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.


A twelve-month post as a Clinical Fellow in Anaesthesia is available at Oxford University Hospitals. This post is suitable for UK anaesthetic trainees within the last 2 years of training or immediately after completion of training. We also welcome applications from qualified anaesthetists from other countries who have completed at least 5 years of anaesthetic training and are eligible for registration with the GMC.



On starting the post, the post-holder will work under the direct supervision of senior staff until they have successfully completed appropriate induction to the site of work. Every three months during the post (or more frequently if required) training will be reviewed by the nominated Clinical Supervisor. The post-holder is expected to keep accurate contemporaneous records of clinical activities or events, including pre-operative assessment, pre- and postoperative care, pain relief, and critical incidents, using the trust approved documentation. The post-holder is expected to keep a record of their training including a logbook of cases and a record of other activity.

The Departmental Administrator produces a weekly rota. It is expected that the successful candidate will perform duties appropriate to the grade and to his/her level of experience. There will be times where the schedule has to be changed after the rota has been published.

Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) is a world-renowned centre of clinical excellence and one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the UK. The Trust is made up of the John Radcliffe Hospital (which includes the Women’s Centre, the Children’s Hospital, West Wing, Heart Centre and Eye Hospital), the Churchill Hospital and the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, and the Horton Hospital in Banbury. The Nuffield Department of Anaesthesia consists of over 120 Consultant Anaesthetists and 60 trainees.

Aims and responsibilities:

The focus of this fellowship is in developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours for the provision of high quality anaesthesia, particularly in the remote environment and for day surgery.

Specifically, the Fellow will be offered training opportunities, accompanying senior colleagues on MRI / CT and interventional radiology lists, and working in a high quality, high turnover day surgery centre. Up to one day per week is offered for continuous professional development and fellows are encouraged to undertake QI or service development projects.

There will be clinical training opportunities at the equivalent of 3 levels in various anaesthesia disciplines. The Fellow will work with distant, local, and direct supervision, as appropriate.

The post holder will work within the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust group of hospitals:
• The Horton General Hospital, Banbury – Day Surgery (incl paedatrics) and Trauma
• The John Radcliffe Hospital – Trauma, Neuro, Obstetrics, Vascular, Airway, Plastics, Paediatrics, Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Intensive Care
• The Churchill Hospital – Transplant, Oncology, Airway, and Intensive Care
• The Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre

On starting the post Fellows work initially at the Horton General Hospital site as this is where the main on-call commitment will be. This provides a good introduction for candidates who have not worked in the NHS before. Regardless of rotation, fellows work will also initially work under the direct supervision of senior staff until they have successfully completed appropriate induction to their new site of work.

Fellows are expected to keep accurate contemporaneous records of clinical activities or events, including pre-operative assessment, pre- and postoperative care, pain relief, critical incidents, etc., using the Trust approved documentation.

Fellows are expected to keep a record of their training including a log book of cases and a record of other activity.

The Departmental Administrator produces a weekly rota allocating each member of the trainee grades to particular duties. It is expected that the successful candidate will perform duties appropriate to the grade and to his/her level of experience. There will be times where the schedule has to be changed at short notice after the rota has been published and to move the Fellows to cover a different list, occasionally not directly related to the module they are currently undertaking.

Clinical:

The work schedule is resident, full shift 1:10 on call rota, at the Horton General Hospital, Banbury. This is a middle grade rota providing support to the trauma theatre and critical care / airway support to the rest of the hospital. A duty consultant is on site until 8pm, every day, including bank holidays and weekends. You will be the sole anaesthetist resident at night, with the consultant available from home. There is a dedicated on-call room available.

Daytime work will typically include rotation through specialties discussed between the Fellow, the programme director, and the College Tutors to ensure training of current trainees is not compromised. Fellows are expected to undertake some solo elective theatre lists commensurate with their level of training and experience, but always with indirect consultant supervision.

Facilities for study and training:

Time is set aside for personal development, CPD and Audit. There are facilities both physical and electronic to support the post-holder in this.

Teaching, audit and quality improvement:

Fellows will be given study leave to attend the QI training programme and allocated appropriate time for managing their chosen QI projects. There are numerous other opportunities within the department including national audits, teaching medical students, and assisting with locally run MDT simulation training.
