Applications are invited for the post of Consultant Surgeon in Vascular / Endovascular Surgery to work within the South East Wales Vascular Network.

The Vascular Surgery service in South East Wales has recently undergone re-design with stage one of centralisation on to the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) site as a hub and spoke model.  This has enhanced the existing out-of-hours vascular network which was already centralised on to the UHW site. Following centralisation, elective and emergency arterial surgery is only performed on the UHW site (for patients in the integrated locality group areas of Merthyr Cynon and Rhondda Taf Ely, as well as Cardiff and Vale UHB residents), unless the patient is ‘in-extremis’. The spoke sites continue to have a vascular presence in the form of outpatient clinics, venous surgery and a ward liaison service. The successful candidate will be expected to have spoke-site duties in addition to operating and managing patients in UHW. 

The Vascular Unit has a dedicated 19-bed vascular ward, access to a modern interventional radiology suite and dedicated vascular theatre. 

Applicants should either be on the Specialist Register or be a Specialist Registrar within six months of their expected date of receipt of a CCT / CESR(CP) at the time of interview.
