Description

Company Description Here at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, we are proud to provide expert, compassionate care for our local population. We are ranked as the third in the country for research, embedding education and training across the organisation. Our main hub is the Queen Alexandra Hospital, which is one of the largest hospitals on the south coast employing over 8,700 staff. Our patients come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes our hospital stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for getting it right for patients, colleagues, and our community, you will find a home at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust. Job Description Fixed Term - 12 months Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust is looking to appoint an enthusiastic, forward-thinking Locum Consultant in Upper GI and General Surgery. This is initially a locum post to replace a departing upper GI surgeon and to meet the increasing demands for expertise in benign UGI surgery. Advanced minimal access and/or robotic surgery experience is of particular importance. The post is based in the UGI Surgical Unit to work very closely with 6 consultant colleagues on a day-to-day basis to cover general aspects of UGI work. We aim to appoint a well-trained specialist in upper GI surgery with sufficient general surgical experience to be confident in the management of general surgical emergencies. Training and experience in a tertiary referral centre for UGI disease will be preferable, and a higher degree, UGI publications and ongoing UGI research interests will be looked upon very favourably. Ability to work very flexibly as a team member with existing colleagues is essential. Minimal access surgical training in emergency surgery and benign UGI surgery (including cholecystectomy, bile duct exploration, and hernia surgery) is an essential part of this post as most patients are operated on laparoscopically in this unit. Being a competent surgeon entails more than just operative skills, and evidence will be sought as to the appointee's ability & judgement to manage post-operative complications and/or critically ill patients. They will be expected to be capable of UGI endoscopy including therapeutic procedures such as stenting.
