Senior Locally Employed Doctor in Intensive Care | Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust

We're recruiting for senior residents (Locally Employed Doctors) to join our team. The successful candidates will be responsible for the daily review and management of critically ill adult patients in the critical care department. The candidates will be based on the Intensive Care and High Dependency Units but will also be responsible for reviewing and managing critically ill patients throughout the hospital, primarily on the wards and in the emergency department. The rotation in a speciality would reflect the training ambition and needs of the resident. The applicant will also be part of an on-call critical care rota on a full shift basis on a EWTD compliant rota. Consultant supervision will be provided at all times, and consultants are present on the Intensive Care unit for a minimum of 16 hours per day.

Candidates that are non-GMC registered at the point of application will be considered for this position, under the Trusts International Fellowship Scheme (please note, there is a £750 admin charge for this scheme). More information re this scheme can be found on our website - link in job description

Under the supervision of the critical care consultants, you will assist in the assessment, admission, day-to-day management, investigation, practical procedures and final discharge of patients. Senior residents will be expected to work at the level of a Specialty Registrar, with increased responsibility for assessment and management of unwell patients in the ITU and hospital, and for the supervision of more junior trainees. They will be supported in this by the consultant body.

Some administrative work such as referral letters is part of the usual workload. In addition active participation in audit is expected. Weekly teaching is compulsory unless on night duties or leave is granted, and provision is made for this in the rota.
