Global Health Anaesthesia

The Global Anaesthesia Fellow will use their non-clinical time (typically one session per week) to contribute to ongoing projects within existing networks such as the Oxford Global Surgery Group, and/or to work on their own project (subject to supervisor’s approval). Between the OUHFT and the University of Oxford, ample opportunities exist to form networks and links across disciplines of relevance to global anaesthesia. For more information, or to discuss potential projects, please contact Dr Hilary Edgcombe.

Successful applicants will have one session per week dedicated to non-clinical global anaesthesia work. It is expected that they will undertake the following:

Project

A structured project relevant to global anaesthesia. The topic will be chosen by mutual agreement with the programme supervisor (Dr Hilary Edgcombe) based on the Fellow’s experience and existing ideas / interests.

Multidisciplinary team work

Active involvement with the Oxford Global Surgery Group (an active interdepartmental collaboration including surgeons, anaesthetists and obstetricians)

Education

Funded attendance and involvement in the established annual “Anaesthesia in Developing Countries” course, including organisational and teaching roles depending on the successful applicant’s expertise. Attendance will be subject to the usual departmental policies on leave.
