General Training and the TOE Fellowship

The main aim of the TOE fellowship is sub-specialty training in cardiac anaesthesia.

How much general anaesthesia exposure will I have?

The service component of the job consists of approximately two to three days per week, plus after hours commitments.

Generally the department takes a flexible approach to allocations so the exact mix per week will vary occasionally.  Overall, about half your daytime week will be general anaesthesia.

What sort of caseload is there in general anaesthesia?

You will be exposed to a multitude of cases in all specialities.  Included in this is:

  • Trauma - Westmead is a major trauma centre
  • General surgery
  • Orthopaedics
  • Obstetrics/Pain.
  • Most other specialities.
