Clinical Lead for NAP8: Complications of Regional Anaesthesia

Clinical Lead for NAP8: Complications of Regional Anaesthesia and other Neurological Complications of Anaesthesia. National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists Centre for Research and Improvement

This post is a fixed term RCoA appointment to lead NAP8.  NAP8 will examine Complications of Regional Anaesthesia and other Neurological Complications of Anaesthesia in NHS and Independent hospitals in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The successful candidate will work closely with the clinical leadership of the RCoA Centre for Research and Improvement.

The role will span the duration of the project, expected to start in September 2024. There is no direct payment for the role. We will reimburse your organisation for eight hours per week of your time which you will dedicate to the project. For this the RCoA offers a fixed funded supplement that reimburses your organisation at £3,000 for an annual commitment of one hour per week. As we are asking for eight hours per week of your time this means that your employing organisation will be reimbursed £24,000 annually subject to annual review of your performance. The project is likely to last four years. Workload on this project will fluctuate over the project so you will need to be flexible with this commitment, at some points dedicating more than eight hours a week to the project and at other times less. This fee is not negotiable.
