Clinical Fellow- Plastic Surgery

Locally Employed Doctor

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

This will offer excellent clinical experience in Plastic surgery, working closely with multi-disciplinary teams consisting of other onco-surgical specialities, medical and clinical oncology.

The overall clinical workload will involve management of in-patients, attendance at theatre and outpatient sessions, MDTs and working closely with the clinical nurse specialists within the department.

The Consultants have access to surgical beds on Ward 10 which are allocated according to need. There is a surgical day case unit with facilities for preoperative assessment. The Anaesthetic service is provided by the Department of Anaesthesia at the Christie by the Clinical Director Dr Pawel Aryszynski supported via a SLA for anaesthesia with The University Hospital South Manchester. All Consultant Surgeons and Anaesthetists with sessional commitments to the Christie Hospital are members of the Directorate of Surgery and Anaesthetics in the division of Cancer Centre Services.

The department of plastic surgery at The Christie has effectively two separate roles; one is in the area of the management of skin and soft tissue tumours that need removal and secondly, the team provides a reconstructive service for the aforementioned group and for patients requiring reconstruction following breast, colorectal, gynaecological and urological surgery. The team also integrates with the nationally funded NF1 and NF2 services.

The successful candidate would also gain considerable experience and training in microsurgery.

There is a monthly plastic surgery clinical meeting, a regular audit programme and a teaching and education programme that the appointee would be actively involved in. The Specialist Nurse Practitioner runs a suturing course for both undergraduate and post graduate students.

Continuing Professional Development

The Trust supports the requirements for continuing professional development (CPD) as laid down by the GMC and surgical colleges and is committed to providing time and financial support for these activities.
