Senior Fellow in Neurosurgery

at  University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Fellow in our Neurosurgery team here at UHS. Our department is the only tertiary centre in the region covering acute and elective services with a catchment area of 3 million across south and southwest of England.
The successful candidate will be expected to perform the oncall duties in the neurosurgery department. The rota is well-supported with experienced nurse practitioners as well as junior doctors. There will be ample educational opportunities including theatre attendance, weekly teaching, monthly morbidity and mortality meetings as well as clinics and MDTs.
The post is to work alongside our ‘run through’ neurosurgery trainees and be treated equitably. An educational supervisor will be provided and regular assessments and appraisal carried out so that the post can contribute to evidence for CESR. While the post is initially being offered a 12 month contract we would look to extend the post if appropriate

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You will be actively involved in the on-call and care of emergency neurosurgery patients as well as weekly clinic and MDT meetings and attending elective operating sessions and academic meetings.
Study leave will be granted to allow attendance at courses pertinent to advancing neurosurgery training towards CESR and local courses are available for enhancing leadership, teaching and interview skills in preparation for consultant appointment. Audit and research activities in the department will be encouraged.
The post is offered as full-time with on call under the supervision of the Neurosurgery consultant team.
