Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust
Trust Doctor (CT1-3) in Intensive Care Medicine
The closing date is 10 May 2026
We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Fellow to join our Intensive Care Medicine Team.
The Critical Care Unit approximately 1000 patients per year: 50% are medical patients, 50% are surgical and 95% of admissions are emergencies. Approximately 55% require advanced respiratory or multi-organ support. The mean APACHE II score is 16 and the ICU SMR was 0.71 for the last quarter. The unit is currently staffed to care for up to 16 critically ill patients, but has the ability to surge to greater numbers if required.
This is a post that provides excellent learning opportunities and can help to prepare candidates for primary qualifications in their chosen field. As well as the valuable clinical experience, protected time for weekly teaching, we provide self-development time to concentrate on quality improvement projects, research and other areas tailored to the individual's training requirements including FUSIC accreditation. The consultant body has a strong track‑record in supporting trainee career development, postgraduate exam success and securing future training posts. We are highly rated in the GMC survey and get consistently good results from our local trainee feedback. All doctors, regardless of training status receive an educational supervisor and study budget.
