Applications for Trust Doctor Posts in Critical Care Medicine
Applications are invited for Trust Doctor posts in Critical Care Medicine at The Royal London Hospital (RLH), part of Barts Health NHS Trust, for trainees at ST4+ level or equivalent.
RLH is home to one of the busiest and most dynamic critical care units in London: a 44-bed general ICU/HDU on the 4th floor, alongside a further 12-bed post-operative surgical HDU on the 3rd floor. The unit manages a broad case-mix, including tertiary referrals in Neurology, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Renal and Stroke Medicine, high-risk surgical patients, and major trauma, supported by London's HEMS base and a busy Emergency Department.
Successful candidates will gain excellent clinical exposure across level 2 and 3 care, with structured opportunities for education, audit and research. Within this programme, fellows are warmly encouraged to enquire about dedicated sub-specialty fellow posts currently available, including Critical Care Follow-Up, End-of-Life Care, and Trauma Governance – each offering protected time to develop expertise and a project portfolio in these areas.
This is an outstanding opportunity for trainees seeking varied, high-acuity critical care experience within a supportive and academically active department.
