Are you an ambitious and innovative specialist in Critical Care and Respiratory Medicine? We are inviting applications for a Locum Consultant to join our welcoming and forward-thinking team at Peterborough City Hospital. This post is offered on a 12-month fixed term basis to provide maternity leave cover.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated clinician to work in a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment. You will be based in our 16-bedded Critical Care Unit, which includes both Level 2 and Level 3 beds, managing approximately 800 admissions per year. The unit is staffed by a supportive and experienced team, including physiotherapists, dietitians, speech and language therapists, and clinical psychologists.

Our consultant body includes experts dual-trained in Anaesthesia, Emergency Medicine, Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine, and Respiratory Medicine, fostering a rich environment of learning, development, and innovation.

Applicants should have full GMC registration and be on the Specialist Register for Intensive Care Medicine and their allied specialty (e.g., Respiratory Medicine), or be within 6 months of achieving CCT at the time of interview.

Our department values learning, development, and a strong team ethos.

The post includes an annualised job plan, covering both predictable and unpredictable Direct Clinical Care (DCC) activities. In addition to participating in the Critical Care on-call rota, you will undertake a flexible number of clinical sessions per week in their allied specialty (e.g., Respiratory Medicine), with the total number of sessions agreed annually. This approach allows for greater flexibility and supports a balanced and sustainable workload throughout the year.

Clinical Care: Provide expert care to patients within the Critical Care Unit (Level 2 and Level 3) and the Respiratory Medicine service, managing complex cases and delivering high-quality, life-saving treatment.

Administrative Duties: Complete necessary documentation, attend departmental meetings, and collaborate with the leadership team.

Research & Innovation: Our Critical Care Unit is actively involved in National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) portfolio studies and has a strong presence in regional and national research activities.

We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in our workforce and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, with a special focus on welcoming individuals from disabled, Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities, as well as those from our local area.
