Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Trust Registrar in Critical Care with an interest in Ultrasound
The closing date is 27 November 2026

Job summary
We invite candidates to apply for the position of Specialty Doctor in Critical Care, with an interest in ultrasound. This is a 6-month post (potentially extendable to 12 months) based at Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital (BNHH).

BNHH has 18 critical care beds and receives over 1000 critical care admissions each year. We routinely manage complex surgical patients, as the hospital is a tertiary referral centre for peritoneal malignancy surgery. We also manage complex cardiology patients, as the hospital is the Trust hub for cardiology, with a 24-7 PPCI service.

Main duties of the job
A formal job plan will be agreed between the appointee and the clinical supervisor. The clinical duties will include those normally expected of a Registrar in a Critical Care unit of any general hospital in the United Kingdom.

The BNHH critical care department has 3 cart-based ultrasound machines, and soon 2 state of the art handhelds all with network/archiving/storage capability. The successful applicant will have protected time to develop their ultrasound skills (10-20% on negotiation).

This is an excellent opportunity to learn and develop ultrasound skills alongside experienced trainers in FUSIC Heart, Lung, Abdomen, Vascular, DVT and Haemodynamic modules.

The post holder will work a rota that includes evenings, weekends and nights on-call covering the Critical Care Unit. Night time work will be supported by an anaesthetically trained doctor on-site, as well as dedicated consultant support from home. The working pattern is compliant with the European Working Time Directive. Total direct clinical care hours averaged over 6 weeks will not exceed 48 hours a week.
