Senior Fellow in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery

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.

YOUR MAIN DUTIES

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Breast Unit at the University Hospitals Southampton, to spend 12 months working as a Senior Clinical Fellow in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery for specialist training in oncoplastic breast surgery. This would be ideally suited to someone towards the end of their training, who is looking to consolidate their breast surgery skills, prior to transitioning to their first consultant post.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You will have a primary focus on training in oncoplastic breast surgery and the successful applicant will have a theatre session with a particular focus on advanced oncoplastic breast surgery training including post-mastectomy reconstruction, perforator flaps and therapeutic mammoplasty. The rest of the time will be spent in clinic-based activity, multidisciplinary meetings, teaching and specialist clinics.
There will be some requirement for service provision in the form of new patient clinics (1-stop / screening recall) or covering the operating theatre for consultant annual leave arrangements, providing opportunity for independent operating and consolidation of training with consultant oversight. There is no commitment to the General Surgery on-call rota or out-of-hours on-call commitment. However, you will be expected to provide support for the management of urgent and emergency breast cases during normal working hours. The duties will be in line with the trust and department’s commitment to have a sustainable, reliable and high-quality service in place that meets and exceeds the national standards. You can also apply to the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh) for accreditation of the fellowship (cost involved). Support for CESR applications can also be provided if appropriate.
