The posts will include training in all the competencies required for completion of core surgical training. The post is offered on a fixed term 12 months with possible extension to 24 months, depending on successful ARCP after 12 months. Post holders will need to have evidence of achievement of foundation competencies, via current employment in a UKFPO-affiliated foundation programme or 12 months experience after full GMC registration or equivalent, and evidence of achievement of foundation competencies at the time of application. Only a valid FPCC (FACD 5.2) or alternative certificate of foundation competence will be accepted as evidence. The post holders should have worked within the NHS for a minimum of 6 months in any medical or surgical speciality including general practice. We are looking for doctors to work at CT equivalent level within various acute surgical specialities including Urology, General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Trauma and Orthopaedics and Otolaryngology (ENT). The CT1 and CT2 years will consist of 2 x six-month attachments per year. Successful candidates will be asked to rank their specialities of choice, and the posts will be allocated based on the overall ranking after the interviews. We try and accommodate first and second choice requests whenever possible. Please note that these are not guaranteed and subject to change at the discretion of the training programme directors. Rotations may be changed based on the ARCP panel assessment of progression and individual trainee needs. Swaps to the rotation will only be permitted under exceptional circumstances and are at the discretion of the ARCP committee. The post holders will participate on full shift rotas and will be required to provide a range of services. The post holders will also be encouraged to undertake continuing medical education and study leave will be available as per the Trust policy. The post holders will have the opportunity to attend departmental teaching every week. The post holders will work in collaboration with and under the direction of the Consultants and other members of the teams in the day-to-day management of patients within the service. Duties include ward rounds, assisting the Consultants and senior trainees in clinic and the operating theatre, undertaking the pre- and post-operative care of patients on the wards and attendance for referrals in the Accident and Emergency Department. These posts are therefore ideally suited to those looking to augment their portfolio for career progression in surgical specialties.
