Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon
Consultant
Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the busiest and largest NHS foundation trusts in the country, with around 15,000 staff and an annual budget of £1.6 billion.
We have a long history of providing high quality care, clinical excellence, and innovation in medical research regionally, nationally and internationally.
We’re in the top five providers of specialised health services in the country, supporting people with a range of rare and complex medical, surgical and neurological conditions, cancers and genetic orders.
Our staff oversee around 6,500 patient contacts each day, delivering high standards of healthcare.
We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and recognise the benefit in providing an inclusive environment. We value and respect the diversity of our employees and aim to recruit a workforce which reflects the communities we serve, and is equipped to deliver the best service to our patients. We welcome all applications irrespective of people’s race, disability, sex, sexual orientation, religion or belief, age, gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity and in particular those from under- represented groups.
Newcastle Hospitals are proud to be one of the exemplar organisations across the NHS on sustainability, with a long history of delivering Sustainable Healthcare in Newcastle (Shine) and the first healthcare organisation in the world to declare a climate emergency. Our strategy includes commitments to being Net Zero by 2030, for our direct carbon footprint, and Net Zero by 2040 for our footprint plus. Delivering these ambitions will not be possible without the help, support and action of every single member of our team.
Job overview
We are a progressive team with a strong commitment to develop the scope of the specialty within the Trust and to advance the specialty with partner Trusts within the Northern Healthcare Alliance.
In this post, the expectation would be to contribute to the general working of the Oral and Maxillofacial (OMFS) department based primarily at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, including a commitment to the on-call rota. There is current scope to further develop the orthognathic surgery and facial deformity service, in addition to our department’s input into the skin service. The Northern Healthcare Alliance has opened opportunities of developing the specialty regionally, with opportunities within job planning for peripheral clinical activity.
Main duties of the job
The primary aim of this whole time appointment as Consultant in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (10 programmed activities) is to join the existing well-integrated team to provide consultant lead service at tertiary level to the population of the North-East and beyond.
The successful candidate would provide general oral and maxillofacial surgical expertise, providing a comprehensive diagnostic, treatment and advisory service in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
There are opportunities to develop the scope of the specialty within the Trust. There is currently a need in helping to expand the deformity/orthognathic service and in cutaneous malignancy. The Trust, being part of the Northern Healthcare Alliance, has developed close working links with neighbouring Trusts within the region. This has resulted in the need to develop inter-Trust working. Therefore, there will also be opportunities in working and collaborating with neighbouring Trusts and peripheral units in supporting the specialty regionally.
Day case and access to in-patient operating facilities will be made available. The successful applicant will contribute to the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery ‘on call’ rota which provides cover within the major trauma centre of the Trust.
