Job overview
Doncaster & Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is looking to recruit a motivated Ophthalmologist to take up the position of Locally Employed Doctor - Fellow in Paediatric Ophthalmology. This is an important post within the department and we are hoping to recruit an innovative and committed individual.
This is a new post and the post-holder will continue to further develop the hospital’s Paediatric Ophthalmology Service.
You will be a highly valued member of the team bringing your expertise and skills to a busy Ophthalmology department. The post will provide an opportunity to improve and develop our already established sub-specialty in Paediatric Ophthalmology.
The service is provided across 3 sites: Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Montagu Hospital in Mexborough, and Bassetlaw Hospital.
This post is not recognised by the Royal College of Ophthalmologist for higher surgical training but will provide excellent clinical experience and teaching opportunities in a busy and dynamic Ophthalmology Department.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will work innovatively with our clinical team and a range of partners to research, design, and deliver the Paediatric Ophthalmology Service. Key partners will be the Trust A&E Departments, Optometrists, GP’s, Nurses, and Managers in the Integrated Care Board.
The Ophthalmology service has departments and theatres at three Trust sites (Doncaster, Bassetlaw, and Mexborough), but whenever possible, split site working within the same day would be avoided. Your individual job plan will be reviewed and agreed annually.
Secretarial support is provided at Bassetlaw Hospital, Montagu Hospital, and Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
The successful candidate will be supported in developing their sub-specialty interest in Paediatric Ophthalmology. He/she will have a continuing responsibility for the care of patients in their charge and work closely with consultant colleagues for the proper functioning of the department.
Working for our organisation
Doncaster & Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (DBTH) is a medium-sized Trust with big ambitions. We’re aiming to be in the top 10% for everything we do. To get there, we are improving our organisation to be more suited to how patients use our services. We serve a population of over 450,000 people across South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire. We have a total bed complement of 1,150 and the General Surgery Department provides Elective and Emergency inpatient, day case, and outpatient services across 3 Hospital sites.
