Specialty Registrar- Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust
This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced, challenging, and busy specialty to improve understanding and experience in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. These appointments are initially for 6 months and will be based mainly at Northwick Park Hospital. It requires motivated doctors with some Oral & Maxillofacial surgery experience to work with other trainee doctors and consultants to care for emergency and elective patients within OMFS and Head & Neck. A broad-based knowledge in all aspects of OMFS is beneficial but the weekly timetable can be adjusted considering the experience of the successful candidate and the needs of the service.
The successful candidate will work as a member of the middle grade team who are both medically and dentally qualified doctors supporting services across the network and participating in the 2nd call rota.
