Following a £5 million investment Queens Hospital Burton now has a new fully refurbished Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The Unit has been expanded from 10 to 14 beds that also include isolation rooms to treat and rehabilitate acutely unwell patients.

The associated medical equipment features patient monitor and ventilator integration alongside side our electronic records and electronic prescription platforms. Numerous ultrasound systems are available for bedside use to enhance POC decision making. Renal therapies are delivered with modern citrated anticoagulation modalities. We envisage a significant shift towards enhanced care pathways as suggested by FICM and the opportunity to develop these is unrestricted.

Candidates wishing to do anaesthetics lists at the Royal Derby Hospital will be accommodated following discussion with the clinical lead.

There is a relocation package available to successful candidates and there is a generous ‘Golden Hello’ recruitment incentive for the right candidate.

ICU consultants will have office space on the unit and there is shared secretarial support.
