Applications are invited for Resident Airway Fellow posts in the Wessex Neurological Intensive Care Unit at University Hospital Southampton, to start February 2026.  This post is for 6 months.  The post is suitable for those wishing to enhance their knowledge and experience in neurocritical care and anaesthesia, who have experience working in these areas and appropriate qualifications to do so.

The Neuro ICU is a 13-bed dedicated Neurological Intensive Care Unit.  The Unit admits approximately 800 patients yearly: 300 severe neurological trauma injuries, 150 subarachnoid haemorrhages, 300 neurosurgical cases, 50 acute neurological cases.

Resident Airway Fellows work a 1:9 full shift “airway” rota.  The post is supported by dedicated Consultant input.  Applicants will have competence in airway management of critically unwell patients and experience in anaesthesia/critical care.  Full attainment of the “Initial Assessment of Competence” is essential.  Appropriate supporting evidence would include satisfactory workplace-based assessments (WBPAs) demonstrating independent practice.  

Full support for study leave will be given.  Fellows are encouraged to participate in our research trials and present at international meetings.   

Our team won the ICS "Team of the Year" 2023.  We are proud to have a talented multidisciplinary team who contribute to excellent patient outcomes.  The Unit is recognised by the UK ICM committee for training in Intensive Care Medicine.
