Consultant in Otorhinolaryngology

at  Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust

The ENT department has a strong reputation for the good relations between colleagues and mentoring is therefore assisted by all the consultants in the Department. The culture within the Department is that Consultants and middle grades care for all patients on the ward as needed. The daily morning ward rounddeals with any issues arising if the appointee was unable to review postoperative patients and there is a consultant on site who is available to cover any urgent or emergency problems. Team working is integral to this role in the department.
This is intended to serve as a broad description of the duties of the post. All Job Plans are reviewed with the Deputy or Chief Of Service for Specialty Surgery, who is the Line Manager. A job plan review will take place 6 months following the appointment to assess the duties undertaken and the need for any change. All changes would be by mutual agreement and changes having budgetary or contractual implications would also need the agreement of the Chief Executive.
All consultants undertake a 1:10 on call. The post holder will have support from a secretary and adequate office facilities. Current locations of clinics are under review but the departmental aim is that cross site travel during the working day is to be avoided. If travel to or fromperipheral site is required this will attract appropriate DCC for travel and reimbursement of extra mileage in accordance with the Consultant Terms and Conditions of Service (2003).
