LAS Core Specialty Registrar (CT1 / 2) in Intensive Care Medicine

The general adult critical care services are currently provided on two sites, the Northern General Hospital (NGH) and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital (RHH). General adult critical care provided level 2 and 3 care to a wide range of patients supporting both the medical and surgical services. Sheffield Teaching Hospitals is one of three major trauma centres in the Yorkshire and Humberside region.

The critical care units are staffed by trainees from Anaesthesia undergoing ICM training at StR level as required by the Royal College of Anaesthetists, ACCS doctors, IM2 and F2 doctors, Advanced Critical Care Practitioners and in the case of the NGH, an additional group of trainees training for a CCT in ICM.

Whilst in post there will be plenty of opportunity to become involved in teaching, audit and research. The trust run local courses for both the primary and final FRCA and strongly encourage clinical fellows to take part in those as needed.

The post holder will be expected to contribute to daytime activity and to take part in the out of hours on-call rota which is currently a 1 in 8.
