One post starting from August 2024 for a period of 12 months.
This is a clinical fellowship with the Vitreo-retinal Consultants Mr AK Tyagi, Mr A Sharma, Mr KS Lett, Mr A Mitra and Mr. S Ch'ng. The Post attracts an annual salary of £42,500.
It is suitable for post CCT UK trainees or suitably qualified overseas trainees offering opportunities to gain extensive sub-specialty experience in Vitreo-retinal surgery.
Any candidate who, for personal reasons, is unable to work full-time will be eligible to be considered for the post.
Main duties of the job
The post is designed to provide comprehensive training in Vitreo-Retinal surgery and comprises specialist Vitreo-Retinal clinics and theatre sessions under supervision of the VR Consultants. The post holder will be one of three trainees undergoing higher sub-speciality training in Vitreo-Retinal surgery.
As experience is gained, increasing responsibility is given so that some Vitreo-Retinal surgery is carried out unsupervised and in an emergency setting out of hours by the trainee (although there is always a Vitreo-Retinal Consultant available for advice).
The post holder along with the other VR Fellows is expected to receive and coordinate referrals from referring hospitals and provide weekend on call cover for emergency VR cases, along with the Consultant. The post holder will rotate between firms during the course of the year.
