Job overview
The Anaesthetic Department at William Harvey Hospital is looking to recruit a dynamic and conscientious individual to join our team of dedicated clinicians for a year.
William Harvey Hospital is a large district general hospital providing care for the diverse population across East Kent. The hospital provides surgical services for the regional head and neck cancer service, colorectal cancer and other specialties, including gynae, ENT, trauma surgery, breast, paediatrics and ophthalmology. There is also a 24-hour pPCI cardiology service. We are a leading level 2 trauma unit and have a busy obstetric unit with 4000 deliveries a year. Vascular and urology services are based at Canterbury. Most elective orthopaedic services for the trust are now provided at the state-of-the-art Elective Orthopaedic Centre in Canterbury. There is a well-established pre-assessment service providing support for all surgical specialties. The hospital has just opened a bright, new 24-bedded intensive care unit to support our expanding services. We offer 27 days’ annual leave and active support for study, quality improvement and patient safety work as part of our ‘We care’ improvement journey, and medical education and research.
