This is a career-defining opportunity for experienced SAS doctors with ambitions towards CESR or clinical excellence within a large, innovative and forward-thinking anaesthetic department. The successful candidates will work across Anaesthesia, Critical Care and Obstetric Anaesthesia, with opportunities to develop sub-specialty interests. Our department supports flexible job planning, well-being, and educational development. With a strong CESR mentorship programme, state-of-the-art MMUH facilities, and an outstanding team culture, this role offers both professional growth and job satisfaction. ### Main duties of the job The successful Specialty Doctors will play a key role in delivering high-quality anaesthetic and critical care services across a range of clinical settings within the Trust.
