Pride Veterinary Referrals have an exciting opportunity for an Anaesthesia Intern to join their large, multicultural, fun team of clinicians, residents, rotating and discipline interns.
The successful candidate will work under direct supervision of anaesthesia specialists (2 ECVAA and 1 ACVAA Diplomates, and 2 residency-trained fellows) to provide anaesthesia and analgesia service for a highly varied surgical and diagnostic caseload.
You will receive training to manage anaesthesia and sedation of varied complexity and will gain competence in skills such as performing locoregional blocks and gaining vascular access, just to name a few. You will manage your own anaesthesia, always working under the supervision of one of the anaesthesia clinicians. Additionally, you will receive formal and informal teaching through tutorials, book and article readings and case discussions throughout the programme.
The internship programme is aimed at preparing the candidate for a residency and the success rate of our past anaesthesia interns in securing a residency position (ECVAA and ACVAA) has been excellent. However, desire to pursue a residency is not a requirement for the position.
Full-time position, with OOH duty only once per week and one in 4-5 weekends.
The salary is £31,000 per annum, with 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays) and up to 5 days off allowed for CPD. If you are coming from outside the UK, your VISA sponsorship will be provided.
