Requisition ID : CAM22056 Provisional Fellow Trauma Anaesthesia
As a provisional fellow in trauma anaesthesia, you will be working in one of the states largest trauma centres. Last year there were 502 major trauma calls. It is also one of the few trauma centers where anaesthetists are intimately involved with all aspects of trauma from the initial call to ongoing management to research, not just in the provision of intra-operative anaesthesia. The hospital serves a vast catchment area associated with large cultural diversity and clinical pathology. The co-location with The Children’s Hospital means that when multiple members of a family are involved all tend to be transferred directly to this campus as it is the only campus in Sydney that deals with Paediatric and adult trauma.
The trauma unit was established in 1988 and has a stable and mature structure based on a collaborative interdisciplinary consultant led trauma group where surgeons, emergency physicians, Intensivists and anaesthetists work well together, share leading the trauma team and share ownership of trauma patients. They are ably supported by a stable mature group of CNC’s with over 100 years of trauma experience between them and by the 11 junior medical officers attached at any time. The trauma rounds are consultant led every day and typically have the consultant, a surgical trauma fellow, the anaesthetic trauma fellow, an ED registrar, a surgical registrar, 2 JMO’s and a CNC.
The fellow will be involved in initial management in the emergency department, in operating theatres and will spend one-two days a week attached to multidisciplary trauma team. They also will be involved in the provision of regional blocks to trauma patients as well as other aspects of perioperative trauma care.
The trauma fellow will also be allocated to emergency theatres to provide trauma anaesthesia.
There are many opportunities for trauma teaching to all levels of medical and other clinical staff as well as opportunities for research. The fellow will be expected to undertake and participate in a significant variety of these.
