Anaesthetist

During conflicts and their aftermath, surgeons and anaesthetists are needed for assignments generally lasting from six weeks to three months or more. Responsibilities include general surgery, surgical-needs assessment, and training of local staff.   

Basic requirements:

• Proven experience in Anaesthetics – experience of paediatric and obstetric anaesthesia is particularly useful

• Full GMC or Irish Medical Council registration

• Ability to work with limited resources

• Availability for a minimum period of six weeks to six months

• Minimum of three months travel or work experience in developing countries

• Willingness to work in unstable environments

  Adaptable and able to work in a team

  Flexible and able to manage stress

  Able to provide training and supervision to others

 Desirables:

• You will find it helpful to have done other medical jobs – time spent in casualty and paediatrics departments will be especially relevant

• Availability at short notice

MSF is always looking for people with language skills and at the moment we are particularly looking for field workers with good French.
