Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Neuroanaesthesia Fellowship

We are delighted to offer a twelve-month clinical Fellowship in Neuroanaesthesia at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. This post is aimed at suitably qualified anaesthetists (trainees at ST6 level or above).

Oxford is a world-renowned neurosurgical centre of both clinical and academic excellence. The John Radcliffe is a regional tertiary neurosurgical centre which serves a catchment area for approximately 2 million people in the Thames Valley. The Oxford neurosurgical department prides itself in providing world class care and pioneering techniques in neurosurgical practice, including the well-established deep brain stimulation service, skull base and pituitary service, epilepsy surgery and awake craniotomy for intra-axial brain tumours.

Oxford also provides a comprehensive neuroradiology service, with approximately 350 major diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed per year, including endovascular treatment of aneurysms and AVMs, embolization of tumours, angiography and angioplasty. It is an acute stroke thrombectomy centre, offering a 24 hour a day, 7 days a week service.

The fellow will provide anaesthesia and post-operative follow up for major neurosurgical cases. The fellow would learn to function as part of a multidisciplinary neuroscience team. There will be opportunities to practice evidence-based medicine and to participate in the development of clinical guidelines and protocols. Fellows will gain experience in learning how to teach trainees and will be actively encouraged to participate in tutorials and lecturing both at a local and national level. There will also be an opportunity to develop skills in neurointensive care, although this is primarily an anaesthesia fellowship.

At the end of this program, the graduating fellows should be skilled in performing preoperative assessment of patients with neurological and neurosurgical diseases, be capable of executing appropriate anaesthetic plans and be adept in the role of the neuro-perioperative physician.
