Based at North Middlesex University Hospital
Consultant Contract | 10 Programmed Activities
Exciting Consultant Opportunities in Anaesthesia
Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint two substantive Consultant Anaesthetists to join the Anaesthetic Department at North Middlesex University Hospital (NMUH).
These appointments offer an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic, supportive and forward-thinking department delivering high-quality anaesthetic care across a broad range of surgical specialities. Both appointees will contribute to elective and emergency anaesthesia services, teaching, clinical governance and service development.
The two posts have different specialist requirements. Post A requires substantial experience and current competence in ophthalmic anaesthesia. Post B is a general Consultant Anaesthetist post for which ophthalmic anaesthesia experience is desirable but not essential.
Applicants should state clearly in their supporting information whether they wish to be considered for Post A, Post B or both posts.
North Middlesex University Hospital is part of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, serving a diverse population across North London.
