Locum Consultant - Surgery - Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust is looking to recruit a Locum Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon.
The successful candidate will join a group of six existing Consultant Vascular Surgeons. Our friendly, dynamic team is supported by Registrars, junior doctors, clinical fellows, and two vascular nurse specialists in providing high-quality vascular services across the County.
In Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, our demographic is increasing seasonally, and we face the challenges of a rural geography. This requires continual development of the service we provide to our population, offering new appointees scope for further input and contribution to the evolution and expansion of the vascular service across the Duchy of Cornwall, as part of the Integrated Care System.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will provide emergency vascular surgery as part of a 1:6 consultant rota, incorporating Consultant of The Week on a 24/7 basis. This is supported by a 24/7 Interventional Radiology Rota.
We provide a full range of inpatient elective and non-elective operating services and day case sessions. Outpatient clinics are held across various community hospitals within Cornwall. Major arterial vascular work is delivered at the Treliske site with access to a Hybrid suite. Vascular Consultants have elective commitments at satellite hospitals and/or outreach facilities. We have a dedicated multidisciplinary diabetic foot service and strong working relationships with Interventional Radiology, with a complex EVAR service and a well-established renal access programme. A regular programme of service and educational meetings underpins the service, along with a commitment to audit and teaching.
