Clinical Fellow Core (CT1-2 equivalent) in Intensive Care Medicine

Posts exist in both the John Farman ICU (general adult, hepatology and transplant ICU) and NCCU (neurosciences and trauma). The posts are available for a period of 12 months, with post holders typically rotating between units with 6 months on each unit.

This position would suit doctors who have, at a minimum, completed their Foundation 2 year and are looking for further experience. Previous ICM experience would be desirable but not essential. Resident doctors on both units work with middle grades during out-of-hours work, and there is dedicated consultant supervision (non-resident overnight).

About Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The John Farman Intensive Care Unit (JVF ICU) is a 32-bedded Critical Care Unit admitting over 1800 adult patients annually. The medical case mix reflects the complex nature of the patients within Addenbrookes: significant numbers of admissions are from hepatology, haematology, nephrology and transplant medicine. Addenbrookes performs around 100 liver transplants annually and is the UKs sole multivisceral transplant centre. Patients are admitted to the JVF ICU from all major specialties excluding cardiothoracics and neurosurgery.

NCCU is a mixed level 2/3 Critical Care Unit which currently comprises 27 beds and is dedicated to the management of patients with acute brain injury and major trauma. The NCCU has an international reputation for clinical and translational research, particularly in the areas of traumatic brain injury and neuroimaging. It was the first centre in the UK recognised for specialist training in Neurointensive Care. NCCU provides critical care for adult patients in the neurosciences (neurology, neurosurgery and stroke medicine) and to the East of England Major Trauma Network.
