The department welcomes those who wish to work flexibly; within their job plan the post holder will be expected to undertake the minimum of 2 sessions/week GA lists; one PAAU clinic/week; and an equitable share of on call duties during the day (062).

The Anaesthetic Department

The department provides anaesthetic services for general, ophthalmic, maxilla-facial, ENT, urological, orthopaedics and gynaecological surgery. We have 7 operating theatres (4 main, 2 in a separate day case unit, 1 eye satellite unit) and a dedicated obstetric theatre.

We also provide anaesthetic and resuscitation services to obstetrics, paediatrics, radiology, ECT and the ED. The relative geographical isolation means that all anaesthetists must maintain a wide range of core skills in order to be able to safely deliver these low frequency but high impact services

We are currently 17 consultants and 17 specialty doctors/ Specialist. We have a single training post in anaesthesia (which is at present occupied by a FY2 post in Intensive Care) and also have a training commitment to several ED doctors undertaking consultant accreditation via the CESR route as well as a constant influx of medical students.

The Department operates a mentor scheme for all new appointees.

Allied Services

We have 7 operating theatres (4 main, 2 in a day case unit, 1 satellite eye theatre) and a dedicated obstetric theatre.

Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

We have up to date equipment, monitoring and ventilators that can be expected from a general high quality intensive care unit.

The Trust is currently developing an ICU follow up service and enhanced care provision for level 1+ patients. There is ample opportunity for the post holder to be involved in these developments.

Critical care outreach is well established, and this nurse delivered service also leads the hospital at night team, providing 24/7 cover in supporting amongst other things the referring teams in timely assessment and referral of critically ill patients. This team has strong links to ICU as well as an expanded role throughout the hospital and is playing a pivotal role in many aspects of keeping patients safe.

Tertiary ICU services including paediatric the regional neurological unit are based in Southampton. Initial assessment, resuscitation and stabilisation of these patients involves the anaesthetic team. Due to the remote location the anaesthetic team may also be involved in transfer by helicopter or ferry to mainland services.

Medical staffing consists of 7 consultants, each of whom undertake weeks on ICU. There is a resident SAS doctor 24/7 as well as an FY2 trainee post. Out of hours the consultant support is shared with the anaesthetic department. To strengthen the ICU specialist advice out of hours there are weekend morning ICU consultant ward rounds.

The medical team run regular M&M and consultant team meetings to ensure high quality standardised care. There are well established links to PUHT ICU educational meetings and attendance at their educational meetings is encouraged.

Acute Pain Service (APS)
