Role Overview
The appointee will provide anaesthesia for routine cases alongside consultants or associate specialists and may run lists under remote supervision based on experience. Duties include working in the Labour ward under consultant supervision and providing resident on-call cover, including obstetrics and paediatric resuscitation.

Only life- or limb-threatening cases are operated on after 22:00. Consultants support registrars on-site until 22:00 and are available off-site with a 30-minute response time. Rarely, ICU support may be required.

Daily sessions start at 08:00. On-call duties are 1:10 for paediatric resuscitation and 1:7 for obstetrics. Shifts include:
- Short days (08:00-18:00)
