This Junior Clinical Fellowship in Neurocritical Care offers a fantastic experience to gain knowledge, skills, and experience of working in a tertiary multidisciplinary team. It would be an ideal post for those at F3 level or Core Training who wish to strengthen an application for speciality training in the fields of Anaesthesia, ICM, Neurology, Neurosurgery, ACCS, or Emergency Medicine. This 1 year fixed-term post offers plenty of supervised hands-on learning and teaching in Neurocritical care, with many opportunities to learn airway skills, central venous and arterial cannulation, and all other practical and theoretical facets on this busy but vibrant ICU. As this is a busy tertiary ICU, previous medical experience working in the NHS or equivalent health system is essential.
The successful applicants will participate in twice-daily consultant-led ICU ward rounds, conduct daily clinical reviews of critically unwell patients, and be involved in all aspects of their daily medical care. Excellent teamworking, communication and documentation skills are required. There is plenty of opportunity for leaning and development of skills under expert supervision. The JCF will be part of the on-call team for the Neurosciences ICU, supervised at all times by the resident Airway doctor tier.
The Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit is a specialist tertiary-referral ICU within the West Wing, a wing of the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK. The John Radcliffe Hospital is a world-renowned teaching hospital integrating acute and elective services with clinical research and education. The Neuro-ICU works closed with Oxford Critical Care, the Major Trauma Centre, and the Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Specialist Surgery departments to provide both emergency and elective care to patients with intracranial or head and neck diseases.
The Neuro-ICU is a busy ICU but with a strong ethos of learning, equality, and multidisciplinary engagement. The Junior Clinical Fellows are genuinely welcomed and are an essential part of this Consultant-led team.
