Job summary This is an opportunity to join a dynamic department of 13 consultants who sub-specialise in Upper limb, Lower limb and Foot and Ankle. Herefordshire is a beautiful county of rolling landscape and this job should provide you with a good work life balance. This is primarily a service job but you will be encouraged and supported to take the FRCS (T&O) exam should you wish. WVT has a higher than national average of success rate for CESR / Portfolio Pathway registration of SAS doctors. This is primarily due to the fact we have a bespoke CESR / Portfolio Pathway ES scheme funded by the education directorate and SAS doctors receive individual support from the SAS tutor to help with the collation of evidence for registration, including important yearly updates at our WVT SAS conference on how to submit a successful application. Main duties of the job You will participate fully in the out-patient, ward and theatre management of both elective and emergency admissions under the supervision of your named consultant. You will advise and supervise Junior Staff on clinical matters. You are second on-call. You will respond appropriately to referrals from your juniors and other departments. You are not on the Trauma Team. You will attend the Trauma Meeting most weekdays. Every day when on Trauma Week, on-call or the day after on-call.

You will also perform duties in occasional emergencies and unforeseen circumstances, at the request of the particular consultant, in consultation where practicable with your colleagues both senior and junior.
