Clinical Fellow in Anaesthesia with Interest in Bariatric AnaesthesiaNHS

Job summary

This new post is a permanent Clinical Fellow post in Anaesthesia, offering an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic doctor to join a friendly and well-established Anaesthetic Department.

The post is designed for doctors seeking to consolidate and further develop their clinical experience in preparation for application to ST4 Anaesthesia training.

At DBTH we offer a Tier 3 Weight Management Service, including access to specialist Bariatric surgery. A small group of senior anaesthetists undertake these operating lists most weeks, mainly at our Bassetlaw site. From an anaesthetic perspective these lists offer the opportunity to learn more about safe anaesthesia for patient's living with obesity; including managing the high risk airway, intra operative care of the bariatric surgical patient and opiate sparing analgesia strategies. As severe obesity is becoming more prevalent in our patient population, the skills learnt in these lists can then be applied to a wide range of surgical specialities.

The department provides a supportive environment with structured supervision, training opportunities and clear pathways for development and progression.
