Job overview

Critically ill patients arising from the other specialties at Addenbrooke’s are cared for by our 32 bed sister unit, the John Farman Intensive Care Unit (JF ICU).

The successful applicant will join a team of Consultants providing 24/7 cover to NCCU and will be appointed jointly with either the Emergency Medicine Department or the Department of Anaesthesia and provisional job plans are designed for candidates with a dual specialisation in intensive care medicine with either emergency medicine or anaesthethesia.
Successful candidates will be leading the care provided by the multidisciplinary team within NCCU to victims of major trauma and to patients with complex neurosurgical and neurological disease.
