A Vacancy at Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust.
This is a full-time substantive Consultant post (specialising in Lower limb arthroplasty and soft tissue knee Surgery) for Trauma and Orthopaedics at Barking, Havering and Redbridge University NHS Trust.
These consultant posts will be job planned to perform 10 programmed activities (PA) with the aim to help us improve the trauma and orthopaedics service that we provide to our population.
The successful candidates will be managing patient care in outpatient, fracture and virtual fracture clinics, triaging and assisting in elective and trauma theatres. There will be opportunities to teach and support junior staff in the department across our sites.
The Consultant will be a key role within T&O at BHRUT and will be responsible for fast tracking patients through their diagnosis, initiating investigations, and providing management & treatment plans for patients presenting with orthopaedic issues. The post holder will also triage T&O patient referrals, and this improves the decision-making in clinic or for admission/further referral management.
The successful candidate will have a broad experience in the management of Orthopaedic inpatients, Orthopaedic outpatients, and Trauma patients and will have to engage in all aspects of orthopaedic patient pathways. The appointee will be involved in developing the existing orthopaedic hip & knee services further and will provide full consultant in-patient, outpatient and pre-assessment care for lower limb patients as well as trauma patients.
The successful candidate will be expected to work closely with colleagues and managers with the aim of developing pathways ensuring smooth and efficient pathways for our patients.
A regular programme of service and educational meetings underpins the service. There is a regular commitment to audit and teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The scale of the hospital permits an excellent degree of effective working relationships between hospital departments and Primary care.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.
Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.
Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
