What you'll be doing

The primary purpose of the Senior Resident Medical Officer (SRMO) in Anaesthesia & Intensive Care is to provide Residents an opportunity to work and experience the dynamic world of these two critical care specialties. It is a valuable opportunity to build an understanding and appreciation of the challenges and complexity of care, as well as the rewards of working in these two areas of medicine and would suit those interested in exploring a career in either specialty. Residents will rotate equally through both subspecialties over the course of 12 months. During their anaesthetic rotation Residents will provide anaesthesia services to patients in the operating theatre complex, working one on one with Consultants and Provisional Fellows across a range of sub-specialties. Importantly, the rotation gives Residents experience in peri-operative care, fostering the development of pre-operative assessment and planning skills, acute pain management, and post-operative clinical care as directed and overseen by supervising Consultants.
During the ICU rotation Residents will gain experience and provide clinical care, under appropriate supervision, to patients requiring Intensive Care in a complex clinical environment. Residents will have responsibilities and opportunities for autonomous practice commensurate with their level of experience.
