Join to apply for the Trust Doctor in Trauma and Orthopaedics role at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust.
We are looking to recruit a Trust Dr SHO to join our innovative Trauma & Orthopaedics team.
The post is 1 in 8 on call covering Trauma & Orthopaedics Surgery. This is an excellent opportunity to gain useful clinical experience in this specialty.
The applicant will be expected to take part in the standard SHO on-call rota (1 in 8). Ward care will be expected for trauma patients and we are hoping to restart our elective activity soon.
There will be opportunities to work in theatre, fracture and elective clinics. It is anticipated that this post will allow the applicant to proceed to successful selection for national CT training.
The trauma and orthopaedic directorate sits within the Planned Care Integrated Service Organisation at Torbay Hospital. A comprehensive outpatient service is provided to all South Devon patients, both for trauma and elective orthopaedics. Fracture clinics are held at Torbay Hospital each weekday morning. Elective outpatient clinics currently take place at Torbay and Newton Abbot Hospitals.
Two high dependency beds are supported on the elective orthopaedic ward. The Directorate has two inpatient wards – Ainslie (26 trauma beds) and Ella Rowcroft (19 elective beds), although during the Covid crisis we had a significantly reduced inpatient capacity.
We additionally undertake a high proportion of day case orthopaedic surgery, including selected joint replacement procedures, and have established a national reputation for excellence in this field.
