This is a Locum Consultant post within the Dorset and Wiltshire Vascular Network (DWVN), based at our Main Arterial Centre (MAC) in Royal Bournemouth Hospital. The ability to work across non-arterial sites within the DWVN (Dorchester, Poole, and Salisbury) is essential as is the ability to use your own transport to travel between sites.
The post is for a period of six months in the first instance, with the potential for extension.
Vascular Emergency cover across DWVN is provided 24/7 from our MAC in Bournemouth. The 1 in 8 on-call rota (internal prospective cover) is organised in a ‘Consultant of the Week’ model where Consultants are freed from elective activity whilst on-call.
This post will be paired with one of the existing experienced DWVN consultants in order to share a weekly all day elective theatre list, enabling “buddy” operating for major surgical cases and expansive case mix experience. Outpatient clinics will be based in Royal Bournemouth and Poole, although you may be asked to cover clinical activity elsewhere within the Network in exceptional circumstances.
There is a well-established weekly Network MDT covering all arterial work, attended by surgeons, interventional radiologists, vascular anaesthetists, stroke consultants, advanced nurse practitioners and junior medical staff. In addition, consultants support daily ward rounds and participate actively in Trust educational and governance activities including regular half day clinical governance sessions.
