We require an SHO to work in the General Surgery / Colorectal / Breast / Urology department, starting 02/04/25 - 05/08/25 (4 months). At present, this post does not have educational approval and is therefore a service post. This post is not recognised for training and full registration with the GMC will be required to undertake this position.
This post offers a good training opportunity for a basic surgical trainee who has a career interest in general surgery/Breast but needs more experience to obtain a position. The post holder will have been exposed to a wide range of surgical conditions, both elective and emergency.
Initially, the SHO will sit in on the clinics indicated on the job plan but as experience is gained, the post holder will see his/her own new patients and discuss management with the consultant. Education objectives will be set at the beginning of the post and progress towards these will be regularly reviewed. Opportunities for clinical research are available, and the SHO will be expected to take part in ongoing research and clinical audit projects within the surgical department.
This job includes participation in the on-call rota.
