Consultant Anaesthetist

We are seeking a career anaesthetist in Plymouth who is ready to join a small team of dedicated clinicians striving for excellence in an efficient unit whose main workload is orthopaedics but also includes general surgery.

The quoted salary is based on a 4-day week of 10 hrs per day in line with a normal 10PA job plan but there are opportunities for additional work in the week and financial incentives, above this, for efficient lists.  The on call is light and covered between the team and mainly based on advice to the Resident Medical Officer. Support PAs are built into the job plan in addition to the monthly governance meetings and we actively support ongoing CME and training.

As a consultant anaesthetist you will be involved with all aspects of the patient pathways from pre-assessment, through peri-operative and post-operative ward management and would be expected to be conversant in a range of anaesthetic techniques with particular skills in daycase anaesthesia, resuscitation and regional techniques appropriate to our wide range of operative procedures which in orthopaedics involve all major joints.

At Practice Plus Group we believe in supporting each other and sharing best practice and you would be expected to become an integral part of that team of consultants led by the Medical Director, Hospital Director and Senior leadership management team as well as attending meetings and contributing to teaching of our centre staff.

As a privately run organisation we still primarily support the NHS providing some 80+% of our work in this area and within the region we are the most productive hospital for major arthroplasty work at a time when the NHS is keen to reduce waiting lists

In coming to Plymouth you would not only be joining a dedicated friendly team but find yourself in a beautiful part of the country where many of us totally value the amazing work:life balance that the beautiful county of Devon provides, with its wild Dartmoor landscape, its rivers, coastline, endless outdoor/watersport activities and hostelries etc. It’s no mystery why Devon is a very popular holiday destination.

We want our team members to feel motivated and rewarded and we therefore offer a competitive package of pay and benefits and recognise the value of a healthy work-life balance – so we always try to be flexible, helping you fit your working life around your home life.
