BNHH has 18 critical care beds and receives over 1000 critical care admissions each year.

### Main duties of the job

A formal job plan will be agreed between the appointee and the clinical supervisor. The clinical duties will include those normally expected of a Registrar in a Critical Care unit of any general hospital in the United Kingdom.

The BNHH critical care department has 3 cart-based ultrasound machines, and soon 2 state of the art handhelds all with network/ archiving/storage capability. The successful applicant will have protected time to develop their ultrasound skills (10-20% on negotiation).

This is an excellent opportunity to learn and develop ultrasound skills alongside experienced trainers in FUSIC Heart, Lung, Abdomen, Vascular, DVT and Haemodynamic modules.

The post holder will work a rota that includes evenings, weekends and nights on-call covering the Critical Care Unit. Night time work will be supported by an anaesthetically trained doctor on-site, as well as dedicated consultant support from home.
