Job overview

Due to a recent retirement and restructuring with the department of Breast, Endocrine, Skin and Sarcoma an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Fellow in Breast surgery

This is a new full time post specialising in breast disease diagnosis and management. It involves seeing new patients in a breast one stop clinic and discussing cases at the MDT meeting, assisting in theatre, pre and post-operative care of breast patients and assessment and management of breast emergencies. This post will take place within normal working hours; there is no on-call commitment.

Initially the post will be based at Poole hospital but as University Hospitals transformation plans progress it is expected the breast team will unite on one site. This means you will need to be flexible when it comes to cross site working. This post will have a supervised training element to allow you to progress your skills.
