Specialty Registrar (MT04) - OMFS - Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
This post is to cover an unfilled HEE training post and whilst the locum post is not recognised for training by the Postgraduate Dean, it does offer an opportunity to work in an established maxillofacial department with an expanding portfolio of maxillofacial services.
Duties include both clinic and theatre sessions along with involvement in teaching and mentoring more junior staff.
The successful applicant will be exposed to elective and emergency oral and maxillofacial surgery patients and will gain experience in how to approach clinical situations starting from the initial consultation, making the diagnosis, to clerking and preparing the patients for theatre, post operative management and short, medium and long term follow-up in outpatient clinics.
There is excellent opportunity to gain experience in the diagnosis and treatment of the injured patient and to gain experience on consultant led ward rounds and in consultant led theatre lists. There is a weekly departmental teaching session along with monthly clinical governance meetings in which the post holder is expected to actively participate.
Duties will also include general ward care, upkeep of medical records and involvement in clinical audit. The duties will be varied depending upon the exigencies of the service. Opportunities for research are available and successful candidates will be encouraged to participate.
The current rota commitment is 1:6 on a non-resident on call shift pattern for weekday which includes prospective cover for colleagues' study/annual leave and is part of a tiered rota pattern. There is a 1 in 9 weekend on call rota also. Rota patterns can be subject to change according to the exigencies of the service and should they do so we will consult with you.
