Senior Clinical Fellow in Critical Care Retrieval and Transfer

This is a unique opportunity to be part of the development of a national Critical Care Transfer Service for the people of Wales. Established to provide high-quality intensive care during the inter-hospital transfer of the critically ill patient., We are now recruiting Senior Clinical Fellow Doctors to join our teams across our two Welsh bases, which are located in Cardiff, Bangor, and Dafen. The service operates during daytime hours 7 days a week from Cardiff and Bangor, with an additional twilight shift (14.00-02.00 am) currently working out of Dafen., ACCTS is a predominately road-based service deployed with dedicated critical care transfer vehicles and equipment. The Retrieval and Transfer physician will deploy in a team alongside a support worker and a retrieval and transfer practitioner drawn from a pool of nurses and allied health professionals with extensive intensive care experience and specific training in inter-facility critical care transfer. ACCTS in partnership with WAA/EMRTS will operate a rotary wing model of retrieval and transfer to support long-distance transfers.

Upon completion of appropriate training and a period of targeted clinical experience, it would be expected that you would then take up a full part in the duty rota. The ability to work both day and night shifts is an essential part of the role.

Whilst a base location will be agreed upon with the successful candidate there may be a need to travel to our various bases, across Wales for education and service delivery requirements and all candidates would be expected to contribute to twilight or overnight cover.
