All units were rated “Good” by the CQC (2019) and received excellent peer review feedback in 2023. Each unit admits both elective and emergency level 2 and 3 patients, but has distinct character: - St Mary’s – Major Trauma & Quaternary Vascular Centre - Charing Cross – Regional Stroke & Neurosurgical Centre - Hammersmith – Cardiac, Renal & Haematology Centre This diverse clinical mix supports innovation and collaborative, multidisciplinary care. As one of the UK’s largest acute teaching Trusts, we offer extensive opportunities for career development. Academic clinicians are encouraged to lead multicentre research alongside our renowned department headed by Prof A. Gordon. Applicants should be on the ICM Specialist Register or nearing CCT. We welcome dual-accredited candidates (e.g. anaesthesia, respiratory, emergency medicine). We encourage you to contact us to discuss how we can tailor the role to suit your interests and circumstances. Please note that the successful applicant will be required to work across both St Mary’s and Charing Cross critical care units. ### Main duties of the job The posts will attract 10PAs including a minimum of 2SPAs, but we also welcome applications from individuals who wish to work less than full time. Our philosophy is to formulate an individualised job plan with successful candidates, with an emphasis on enabling professional development and pursuit of specific interests. We strongly believe that the job plan needs to be sustainable and should enable the successful candidate to maintain a good work-life balance. Main duties contained within the job plan are assessing and managing critically unwell patients as part of the ICU MDT team. This will involve twice daily ward rounds as a minimum with targeted assessment and interventions as required. Outreach duties are also contained within the job plans and there are outreach clinics which can be job planned for interested candidates. SPA duties will vary but all consultants are expected to support and supervise trainees. All appointments are to the Trust, but we will discuss with you through the application process any preferences you have about working at a particular site or sites, and mutually agree this with you at appointment. There may also be opportunities for consultants to move sites during their career if they wish to, in order to gain new clinical or leadership experience. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities Main Responsibilities Provide High Quality Care to Patients presenting as an Emergency or who require Critical Care Research, Teaching & Training - Collaborate with academic and clinical colleagues to enhance the translational research portfolio, whilst meeting the full requirements of Research Governance - Provide high quality teaching to medical undergraduates, foundation doctors, specialty trainees and members of other health care professions as required Performance Management - Work with medical, nursing and managerial colleagues to ensure high performance in clinical efficiency, patient safety, quality of outcomes and financial management Medical Staff Management - Participate in team objective setting as part of the annual job planning cycle - Be responsible for the annual appraisal of doctors in training, Trust doctors and non-consultant grades as delegated Governance - Participate in clinical audit, incident reporting and ensure resulting actions are implemented - Keep fully informed about best practice in the speciality areas and ensure implications for practice changes are discussed with Specialty Leads - Role model good practice for infection control to all members of the multidisciplinary team Leadership and Team Working - Demonstrate excellent leadership skills with regard to individual performance, clinical teams, the Trust and when participating in national initiatives - Work collaboratively with all members of the multi-disciplinary team and Imperial College as required ## Job Details We’re seeking enthusiastic colleagues to join our critical care directorate, which delivers care across 94 adult ICU beds at three hospitals.
