Why Surgery, Anaesthesia and ICU Are the Perfect Trio
Think of Surgery, Anaesthesia and ICU as the ultimate tag team in medicine, a seamless patient journey from pre op to post op and beyond. For doctors, it is not just a career pathway, it is a front row seat to the full spectrum of critical care.
Synergistic Patient Journey
- Continuity of Care: Major surgery often flows naturally into ICU for close monitoring and recovery
- Essential Skills Development: Airway management, teamwork and human factors are skills that transfer across medicine.
- Real Time Learning: See physiology and pharmacology play out in front of your eyes.
Exposure and Excitement
- High stakes cases keep you sharp and engaged.
- ICU and Anaesthesia mean constant work with complex patients and advanced treatments.
- There is both adrenaline and satisfaction in helping patients through their most critical moments.
Career Attractiveness
- Breadth of Knowledge: Anaesthetists gain knowledge at the intersection of medicine and surgery.
- Varied Opportunities: Foundation year doctors often love these areas for the skills and career doors they open.
- Operational Interdependence: ICU and theatres are the true engine rooms of modern hospitals, full of specialised kit and expertise.
- Bottom line: Surgery, Anaesthesia and ICU are like the Avengers of medicine. Each strong alone, unstoppable together.
Recent Success Story: Building Critical Care Connections
During my time in New Zealand, I worked with a surgical consultant relocating from the UK who wanted both a fulfilling role and a family friendly lifestyle. By carefully matching his clinical expertise with a regional centre that valued flexibility, we achieved the perfect balance. He now thrives in his role, his family are settled, and the hospital gained a reliable, long term asset. That is the kind of win win I love being part of.
The Blugibbon Difference: Putting Doctors First
At Blugibbon, we are not your typical agency. We put doctors at the centre, always. We build genuine, lasting relationships, and we care about the communities we serve. Our work is not just about filling shifts, it is about helping hospitals deliver safe care while ensuring our doctors thrive in their careers
Advice for First Time Locum Doctors
- Plan Ahead: The earlier you reach out, the better the roles we can line up.
- Be Prepared: Sort paperwork early to make life easier later.
- Know Your Preferences: We tailor jobs around your schedule, lifestyle and goals.
Rewarding Connections and Making a Difference
For me, recruitment is about more than filling a role. It is about seeing a doctor achieve personal goals, whether that is financial stability, travel or exposure to new systems. It is also about knowing hospitals get the skilled staff they need. That double impact is what makes this work so rewarding.
Why Blugibbon? A Supportive Environment for Growth
At Blugibbon, we have a collaborative, fun and innovative culture where people support each other. That energy flows into how we work with doctors. You will feel heard, backed and excited to take the next step in your journey, because we succeed together.
