Ensure effective and open communication with anaesthetic and surgical colleagues.2. Take part in all aspects of pre-, intra- and post-operative anaesthetic care for both inpatient and day case orthopaedic surgery.3. Demonstrate a degree of flexibility in their working patterns, as demanded by a consultant-based service.4. Take part in the anaesthetic on-call rota. This is currently 1:16, though this may be subject to change.5. Provide in-theatre and formal training for rotating specialist registrars, Anaesthetic Fellows, nurses, ODPs and colleagues.6. Assess patients fitness for surgery within the pre-op clinic, both directly and indirectly by supervising nursing colleagues.

The on-call commitment for the post will be between 1:12 and 1:16 (currently anticipated to be 1:16 but flexible to allow individuals to come off the on-call rota for a variety of reasons if necessary).
