Consultant in Anaesthesia Man, Isle of
Job description
We are looking for a Consultant in Anaesthesia to join our team on the beautiful Isle of Man, where we are aiming to become the best small Island-based health and care system!
If you would like to achieve a fantastic work-life balance with a professionally satisfying job, then this could be the job for you!
About the hospital and service
Noble’s Hospital provides a comprehensive range of services typical of most district general hospitals including acute medicine, general and orthopaedic surgery, maternity, paediatrics, special care baby unit, intensive therapy unit and critical care unit.
The Anaesthetics and Intensive Care Service provide anaesthetic services for all the major specialities (excluding neuro and cardiac surgery), plus care of patients in our ICU. In addition, our team also provide a Consultant-led pain service and provide an anaesthetic service in our obstetric theatre and epidural service.
The Island also provides an air ambulance service for the transfer of critically ill patients to the UK. You will have the opportunity to participate in this service and provide in flight anaesthetic support during transfer, with the appropriate training. The medical lead for the air ambulance service is a consultant anaesthetist.
You will join fourteen other consultants, one associate specialist and two speciality doctors to provide resident on-call cover for anaesthetics, as well as general anaesthetic duties.
What can this role offer me?
By joining us you’ll be stepping away from NHS pressures and demands, as the Island’s healthcare system is similar but separate to the UK NHS.
Manx Care offer access to fantastic training and development facilities, including an on-site training centre and simulation suite. We recognise the need for all medical staff on the Island to maintain connections with medicine in the United Kingdom, and we provide generous study leave with pay and expenses to attend approved conferences and workshops.
You will receive a competitive salary with incremental pay progression and excellent holiday entitlement. Free on-site parking will also be available to you.
