Job overview
This Junior Clinical Fellowship in Neurocritical Care offers a fantastic experience to gain knowledge, skills, and experience of working in a tertiary multidisciplinary team. It would be an ideal post for those at F3 level or Core Training who wish to strengthen an application for speciality training in the fields of Anaesthesia, ICM, ACCS, or Emergency Medicine. This 1 year fixed-term post offers plenty of supervised hands-on learning and teaching in Neurocritical care, with plenty of opportunities to learn airway skills, central venous and arterial cannulation, and all other practical and theoretical facets on this busy but vibrant ICU. As this is a busy tertiary ICU, previous medical experience working in the NHS or equivalent health system is essential.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicants will participate in twice-daily consultant-led ICU ward rounds, conduct daily clinical reviews of critically unwell patients, and be involved in all aspects of their daily medical care. Excellent communication and documentation skill are required. There is plenty of opportunity for leaning and development of skills under expert supervision. The JCF will be part of the on-call team for the Neurosciences ICU, supervised at all time by the resident Airway tier.
