Senior Clinical Fellow (ST4–7 equivalent) in Anaesthesia
This is a Senior Clinical Fellow (ST4–7 equivalent) post in Anaesthesia intended for trainees with a specialist interest in cardiothoracic anaesthesia. The post is based at Hammersmith Hospital and will commence in February 2027 for an initial period of six months, with the possibility of extension to 12 months, subject to satisfactory assessments.
Requirements
- Minimum of 21 months of anaesthetic experience
- At least six months of cardiac anaesthesia training completed (or Stage 2 cardiac anaesthesia training completed)
Role Description
The post is designed as a split placement, with three months spent in cardiothoracic theatres and three months in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit, providing a broad exposure to the perioperative management of cardiothoracic patients.
The fellowship offers excellent opportunities to gain advanced experience in cardiothoracic anaesthesia and is particularly suited to those working towards transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) accreditation. Fellows will be expected to participate in the perioperative management of patients through our high-risk cardiothoracic pre-assessment clinic, gaining experience in optimisation, risk stratification and shared decision-making.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Theatre list allocations will allow the post holder to experience all of the anaesthetic subspecialties on offer at the Hammersmith Hospital under direct consultant supervision but preference will be given to cardiothoracic lists. Almost all Hammersmith operating lists are designated consultant-delivered training lists.
In addition to elective theatre work, the post holder will cover the registrar rota for theatres when on call, and will supervise a stage 1 anaesthetist. Emergency work at Hammersmith is mostly kidney transplants and anaesthetic support for the cardiac cath labs, although other emergencies include gynaecological cases, re-operation for surgical complications and cardiac and thoracic emergencies. Hammersmith is on call for acute aortic emergencies every Thursday and one in four weekends. Supervision is provided by two consultant anaesthetists on call: one for cardiothoracic emergencies and one for general emergencies.
The post holder will have the opportunity to spend three months on the cardiac intensive care unit, by mutual agreement. When attached to the intensive care unit, the candidate will spend their normal days working in theatres.
