Job overview
We are delighted to seek applications for the post of Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) to join our team in Salisbury.
This substantive position is a replacement post and the successful applicant will join the 7 existing Intensive Care Consultants who lead patient care in the intensive care unit (ICU), one of the premier services in this high performing Foundation Trust. The CQC have recently described Critical Care services as 'Outstanding' in Salisbury.
Our Intensive Care Unit is housed in a modern facility containing 12 physical bed spaces, of which 10 are currently staffed to support a flexible mix of level 2 and level 3 patents.听
Interviews for this post will be 12th December 2025
Main duties of the job
This is a 10 PA post, but it is likely that an additional programmed activity could be offered to the successful candidate. On average, 4.5 PA are delivered as DCC to ICU, a further 4 PAs of DCC are provided outside of ICU in the applicant's base speciality and 1.5 SPAs. The postholder may want to have time for research during DCC and this can be discussed with Clinical Leads and Clinical director on appointment.
The proportion of SPA would increase in line with increasing responsibilities after appointment.
Currently, 6 out of 7 of the ICU consultants also undertake regular sessions in the anaesthesia service. We would welcome applicants with a dual CCT qualification in Anaesthesia, Respiratory Medicine or Acute Medicine for this post, as well as consultants currently practising intensive care medicine who have CCT equivalent ICM experience and training.听
We are currently advertising for one post in听 intensive care/anaesthesia.听
