Description
The successful applicant will support the orthopaedic trauma and elective service. The successful candidate will take part in the 1 in 12 orthopaedic trauma rota at The Royal Oldham Hospital and undertake elective surgery at Fairfield General Hospital and Rochdale Infirmary.
The weekly program is an average 10 sessions, which will include clinics, theatre, direct clinical care on-calls and supporting professional activities (SPAs).
The consultant job plan will be subject to review during the initial six month period. The successful candidate will thus need to be flexible in order to allow capacity and demand to be managed. A detailed job plan will be available for discussion.
You will be part of a team of 16 orthopaedic consultants but also part of a wider Trauma, Orthopaedic and Plastics department across the NCA of 48 consultants.
The successful candidate will be fellowship trained in Trauma / Foot & Ankle surgery upon starting the post, adding to and complementing the existing members of the department.
The Northern Care Alliance will be the employer for the appointment and will issue the contract of employment. Candidates who are unable, for personal reasons, to work full time are eligible to apply and, if successful, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis in consultation with the Clinical Director for Trauma and Orthopaedics.
As part of the trauma unit at Oldham, you will cover dedicated on-calls and trauma lists on a 1 in 12 rota. This involves being part of a team providing a general trauma service and specialist foot and ankle surgery. Elective and fracture clinics take place at Fairfield General Hospital with elective day-case operating sessions at the Rochdale infirmary with occasional in-patient work at Fairfield General Hospital in Bury.
