Applications are invited for a Consultant in Paediatric Intensive Care and Paediatric Anaesthetics at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH).

We seek to appoint a dynamic clinician to join a team of Consultant Paediatric Intensivist’s and Anaesthetists in this busy regional centre.

This is an exciting time to join the team as there is funding of £128m for a new children’s hospital in Cambridge to open in 2023. Plans for a new regional Paediatric Intensive Care Retrieval Service are now well advanced.

The appointee’s will provide clinical leadership, specialist advice and multi-disciplinary management for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and Paediatric Anaesthesia.

Paediatric Anaesthesia consists of a sub-specialty cohort of Anaesthetists who possess the necessary clinical skills to provide the highest levels of anaesthetic care.

There are close links with the University Department of Paediatrics and the Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The Consultant will join a close team of Nurses, Physiotherapists, Dieticians, SLT, Psychologists, Counsellors and other members of the multidisciplinary team as well as five other Consultants.
