We are looking to recruit dynamic individuals, whose clinical leadership abilities will help shape the future direction of the clinical service provision within the trust and within this nationally award-winning critical care unit, that has been rated as Good by the CQC.

The successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary team including consultants from anaesthetic and medical backgrounds and will be encouraged to develop areas of interest, such as bedside echo and ultrasonography on the critical care unit and to advance anaesthetic services as their job plan allows.

The Critical Care Unit is currently based on the Southport and Formby District General Hospital site, providing Level 2 and 3 care for a general ICU population. The unit is currently constituted as 14 critical care bed spaces. There is also a 4-bedded POCCU area within the critical care footprint, managed jointly with the anaesthetic department to provide peri operative care for major lower bowel surgery on an enhanced recovery pathway. The Unit was awarded the Nursing Times award for the Best Acute Care team in 2020 and were shortlisted again in 2021 and were awarded the “Clinical Team of the Year” in 2020 from the Trust.
