We have an exciting opportunity for Trust Grade Registrar Doctor's within the ENT Speciality. This posts is on a 12 month contract.
Ear, Nose and Throat surgery for the Leicester area is undertaken at the Leicester Royal Infirmary and the ENT Department will be expanding into the new EMPCC Hub based at the Leicester General Hospital. This expansion will help support our outpatients and inpatient day case capacity. This expansion is due open in December 2024 and some of the duties of this post would be undertaken at this hospital.
The appointment is for a whole time (resident) Trust Grade Specialty Registrar Doctor in ENT – ST3-6 equivalent, providing training in all aspects of ENT. This is a 6 month post designed to develop skills at a level of ST3-6 Speciality Registrar.

You will work within the department alongside the Consultants, Associate specialist, Doctors in training and Advanced nursing colleagues to deliver elective and emergency services, consistent with the trusts strategy and values. A degree of independence in emergency assessment, decision making, and simple operating is expected. Over time, your position may evolve towards some independent practice.

The Department serves the entire Leicestershire area with a number of sub-specialty interests being represented. There are also close links with the Leicester University Medical School.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
