Job Description

They will be expected to care for patients both in the clinic and operating theatre setting. There will be an expectation through the year that the successful candidate will progress towards independent practice but will be supported by the five consultants within the unit during this time. The department will support preparation for the Diploma in Hand Surgery (British or European).
There will also be an expectation that the successful candidate will undertake some middle grade general orthopaedic on call but will not be formally on the rota. These on call commitments will only be undertaken after the rota co-ordinator has confirmed with the hand consultants that they will not unduly interfere with the fellowship but will allow the successful candidate to maintain their general trauma skills. This Hand & Wrist Fellowship is for a 12 month period (6 months by mutual agreement), starting September 2025.
