Senior Clinical Fellow in Critical Care - Transfer

Senior Clinical Fellow in Critical Care - Transfer

The closing date is 06 February 2026

We are recruiting to a 12 month Specialist Fellow in Transfer in Adult Critical Care at Nottingham University Hospitals starting in August 2026.

The post is for 12 months commencing flexibly throughout the year at the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. It is open to all doctors who hold Full/limited registration with the GMC and who have completed a minimum of two years' post Foundation training and who are in possession of either the Primary FRCA or equivalent (e.g. MRCP(UK), MRCEM).

One year of anaesthetics experience and three months of critical care experience is essential. The post suits doctors who wish to develop their CV prior to entering ST4 posts, as OOPE, or before taking up a consultant post.

Paid time is granted to develop an interest in education and service development focused around the sub‑specialty of transfer medicine. The appointee will cover the adult critical care on‑call rota approximately 50% of the time, with the remainder split between education and service development work (we anticipate this to be on average two normal days per week), and daytime adult critical care clinical work.

Prior experience of working in the NHS is a prerequisite for this post.

The successful applicant is expected to participate in on‑calls on the Senior (Airway) Critical Care Rota. This will take up 50% of the time. The remainder of the time will be split between developing a specialist interest in the named areas, and day‑time clinical work in critical care. The Senior (Airway) Critical Care rota doctor will be in charge of the other trainees and fellows out of hours under the leadership and support of the Duty Critical Care Consultant on‑call.

Clinical duties will be conducted at both the Queen's Medical Centre and at the Nottingham City Hospital. Where possible, the post will be tailored to individual training needs. The post is EWTD compliant.

It is expected that on average two normal days per week of the appointee's time will be devoted to developing a specialist interest in Transfer Medicine, working with the East Midlands Critical Care Network and within NUH. Fellows will be responsible for developing, establishing, and delivering a network‑wide multidisciplinary transfer training including developing both a curriculum and training packages. They will also be able to work on audit, governance, research, or other projects with the support of the Network management team, and are expected to support delivery of transfer training programmes directly within NUH with support of the consultant, education nursing, and ACCP teams.
