We are now pleased to offer fellowships in neurocritical care combined with the PGCert commencing August 2017 or August 2018 for a period of 1 year. The Neurosciences Critical Care Unit (NCCU) at Addenbrooke’s Hospital is a mixed level 2/3 critical care unit which currently comprises 23 beds and is dedicated to the management of patients with acute brain injury and major trauma. The NCCU has an international reputation for the development and translation of research into clinical practice and works with a wide variety of national and international collaborators, particularly in the area of traumatic brain injury and neuroimaging, and is co-located with the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre.
NCCU serves three main clinical functions:
Provision of specialist neurointensive care facilities for regional (East of England) neurology, stroke and neurosurgical services to a population of 2.6 million.
Specialist neurointensive care and general intensive care for patients who are admitted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital’s 60-bed neurosciences unit. Intensive care for major trauma patients admitted to the East of England Major Trauma Centre at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
The unit is recognised by the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (UK) for all levels of ICM training. Clinical Fellows work alongside speciality and academic trainees and come from a wide range of backgrounds, including anaesthesia, intensive care, neurosurgery, neurology, and emergency medicine. The posts provide an outstanding experience and learning opportunities in specialist neurocritical care and trauma care, as well as a good grounding in the more generic aspects of critical care.
We are also delighted to receive applications for 6, 12, or 24 month fellowships in neurocritical care, independent of the PGCert, which can begin at a variety of points throughout the year.
