A Senior Clinical Fellow post in Vascular Anaesthesia is available at Oxford University Hospitals (OUH). OUH is a tertiary vascular centre in Oxford and is the hub for vascular services across Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
This post could be considered as an OOPE or as a standalone 12-month post. It would suit a senior resident / peri-CCT / post CCT grade - as independent practice will be an expected/planned endpoint, thus more junior grades are not eligible. The post holder will be expected to join in delivering the education of junior grade anaesthetists and medical students in this area. Overseas applications from qualified anaesthetists will be considered provided applicants have at least 5 years of anaesthetic training in structured training programmes similar to the RCoA and are fully registered with the GMC with a license to practice.
This twelve-month post will provide training in vascular anaesthesia in a busy tertiary referral centre. The service is based at The John Radcliffe and delivers care to a high volume of patients, including both elective and emergency vascular surgery, as well as complex endovascular procedures.
The appointee will join the established vascular anaesthetic group, contributing to two dedicated daily vascular operating lists, alongside a comprehensive perioperative service. This includes a weekly consultant anaesthetist-led preoperative assessment clinic and anaesthetist-led cardiopulmonary exercise (CPET) testing for high-risk patients, supporting optimisation and risk stratification.
