About Our Role

The primary purpose of a Provisional Fellow in Anaesthesia is to provide advanced level anaesthetic practice in a complex clinical environment, whilst under supervision as part of the training of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA).
Provisional Fellows are expected to demonstrate a high level of knowledge and skills, including:

• anaesthesia and sedation
• regional anaesthesia
• airway management
• pain medicine
• perioperative medicine
• resuscitation
• trauma and crisis management

This position offers an excellent program and pathway for senior trainees to transition into consultant practice. Special emphasis is placed on developing clinical autonomy, organisational skills and supervision of junior trainees. This position offers the opportunity to develop these skills in adult and paediatric anaesthesia (by mutual agreement).

Anaesthesia at Prince of Wales

Prince of Wales Anaesthesia provides anaesthesia services to Prince of Wales Hospital (POWH) and Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick (SCH). There are fourteen general operating theatres (adult and paediatric), a cardiac operating suite, and a two-theatre urology operating suite including lithotripsy.

There are multiple locations outside of theatres where anaesthesia support is provided to procedural and diagnostic work (e.g. radiology, cardiac catheter labs, endoscopy suite etc.). Anaesthesia is also very active in both teaching and research.

Anaesthesia has eleven Fellow positions: nine in a wide range of Anaesthesia Services distributed between POWH and SCH, one in Pain Medicine and one in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine (the latter two are advertised separately). In practice all Anaesthesia Fellows work across both POWH and SCH.

A wide range of options are available for the training of Provisional Fellows within the Department. The exact mix of duties is determined by negotiation. We tailor a year of high-quality clinical and non-clinical exposure to each individual. The general principles for a week of work are: two days of clinical work in an area of preferred interest for each provisional fellow, two days of further clinical work required by the Department, and a day for research and development, administration, teaching and quality assurance activities.
