The successful candidate would be working at ST3+ / registrar level within the Department of General Surgery with an interest in Colorectal & Upper GI Surgery. The post would offer regular outpatient clinics, theatre sessions, and registrar on-call duties (1 in 10). Endoscopy training is available to interested trainees.
Weekly timetable would include on average 2-3 theatre sessions, 1-2 outpatient clinic sessions, and 2 optional research sessions. Although based with the colorectal & upper GI teams, a degree of cross cover within general surgery and vascular is expected – offering the trainee a broader experience. One week in 10 is “Hot-Week” covering emergency surgery – this is well-structured with a team-based system.
The post will build on core skills attained at CT1 & 2 and allow further development within General and Emergency Surgery. The post would be part of the general surgical on-call rota 1:10 and have regular access to GI elective and emergency lists. Audit/research and publication would be expected.
All Registrar level surgeons are involved in all teams and share the on-call service with compliant shift patterns.
