Organisation of colorectal surgical services within the Health Board are based on the following:

Main duties of the job

All elective commitments will be cancelled during the on-call sessions.
The candidate will be expected to travel between sites. This will be reflected in annual job planning.
During periods of absence or when the surgeon is on another site, any patient requiring post-op care or in the event of an emergency will be undertaken by the consultant of the day.
