Job summary
Our Acute Critical Care service at Southend has a wonderful opportunity to join its vibrant community of 5 units on three geographical sites of MSE, each with a distinct profile but a shared culture, brought together in an autonomous directorate managing the equivalent of 46 level 3 beds (flexible mx of level 3 and level 2) across the group with over 2500 admissions a year.
Our Division benefits from excellent executive and operational support with a commitment to meet GPICS standards in full with an agreed future strategy to continue to expand - Phase I (Spring 2021) has already seen the award of an additional £10m/ annum recurrent funding for expansion in addition to a £3.5m award to implement a standardised electronic patient record (ePR, Metavision) across all units - Phase II (late 2022) will seek further expansion but focus on capital investment to support the redevelopment of the Critical Care units.
Main duties of the job
Your role will ensure that the decision to admit a patient to Critical Care is made only after discussion with a Critical Care Consultant, that all unplanned admissions occur within 4 hours of decision to admit and you will also ensure that all patients admitted to Critical Care have a Consultant directed care plan on admission and all patients admitted are reviewed in-person by a Consultant as urgently as the situation dictates and always within 12 hours of admission.
Our MSE Critical Care units operate on the "closed unit model"; our Critical Care Consultants are expected to work collaboratively with specialty teams but the final decisions on admission, discharge and immediate day-to-day management is the responsibility of the attending Critical Care Consultant.
You will be expected to participate in multidisciplinary team meetings, to provide expert opinion to specialty colleagues when requested, particularly with a view to supporting discussions and decisions on treatment escalation planning if so asked, be expected to communicate effectively with patients and their relatives, providing high-quality verbal and/ or written information and manage discussions regarding treatment escalation planning, resuscitation and end-of-life planning with sensitivity.
You will, in conjunction with other Critical Care consultants be directly responsible for the supervision of and training of junior doctors working within Critical Care. A high level of Consultant oversight is expected.
About us
We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook - if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
