Job overview
Applications are invited for a Subspecialty Senior Clinical Fellowship programme in Perioperative Medicine and Major General Anaesthesia at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK.
This post is to start from 04 February 2026 for a period of 12 months.
The Senior Clinical Fellow post would suit applicants who have completed or nearly completed a recognised anaesthetic specialist training program, including someone who already possesses a CCT in Anaesthesia. The posts offer the opportunity to increase general anaesthetic experience prior to taking up a consultant post and also to develop or further an interest in a subspecialty of Anaesthesia, excluding Cardiothoracics.
Main duties of the job
A Senior Clinical Fellow will be effectively working at Junior Consultant level with Senior Consultant support and distant supervision available at all times. Senior Clinical Fellows participate in a non-resident on call rota.
Experience will be gained in preoperative assessment, management and optimisation; intraoperative management for complex major general surgery; and postoperative care for high risk patients and high risk surgery within a dedicated post anaesthetic care unit.
The level of supervision will be tailored to the fellow’s prior experience with the ultimate aim of independent practice with distant supervision, so to work at junior consultant level with senior consultant support. These are general fellowships with a 50% component in the area of interest – in this case this will include preoperative assessment clinics and post-anaesthetic care unit as well as lists for complex major surgery.
