About us 

This is a rare and exciting opportunity. North Downs Specialist Referrals is one of the longest-established multidisciplinary referral centres in the UK. We enjoy and are proud of our collegial and supportive environment and our excellent hospital facilities. Many of our Associates are long-term employees because our cooperative and mutually respectful philosophy allows individuals to thrive. 

The anaesthesia department is fully equipped for clinical and interventional anaesthesia and analagesia analgesia too thanks to our pain clinic. Our state-of- the- art hospital is fully equipped with the latest anaesthetic equipment including Wato anaesthetic machines, an MRI compatible Penlon anaesthetic machine with ventilator and a Mindray Ultrasound machine for exclusive anaesthesia use for POCUS and US guided loco-regional blocks. We are a busy happy hospital with a wide and varied caseload, including interventional cardiology, where anaesthesia gets involved in all areas of the hospital providing the best patient care for patients in diagnostics and theatres.

Located in the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we enjoy living and working in a charming bucolic location. At the same time, we are only 30 minutes by train from central London and 20 minutes by car from Gatwick airport so extremely well-positioned for metropolitan life and international travel. 

At Linnaeus, we are committed to supporting the physical and mental health of all our Associates.
