A candidate who is unable for personal reasons to undertake the duties of a whole-time post will receive equal consideration. If such a candidate is appointed the job content will be modified as appropriate in consultation with consultant colleagues and local management.

Main duties of the job

The appointee will gain a broad experience of Plastic Surgery. It is expected the duties and working hours will be divided equally into three categories - Inpatient and emergency patient care.- Theatre experience - assisting complex cases and undertaking straightforward cases (LA and GA).- Outpatient clinic - usually supervised by senior colleague.

The successful candidate would usually occupy a slot on the on call rota. However, on occasion when we get a full complement of Specialty Registrars from the deanery the post is supernumerary and in this instance the candidate will be asked to fill gaps in the on call rota due to absence from LTFTTs etc.

The appointment is to the Trust, not to specific hospitals.

All employees, including the appointee, will be expected to be involved in implementing the Trust's Clinical Governance programme. This includes active participation in clinical audit, quality, clinical guidelines/pathways, professional development, appraisal and risk management.
