Senior Specialty Fellow in Limp Reconstruction and Trauma

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.
Online applications are invited to apply for the 6-12 month post of a Senior Fellow with a special interest in Limb Reconstruction and trauma at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS). UHS has a busy limb reconstruction unit covering acute trauma, the sequelae of trauma as well as limb deformity. The post will also involve all aspects of general trauma as well as exposure to elective surgery. You will be part of the on-call rota.
We are a Major Trauma Centre serving the South as well as a University Hospital tertiary referral centre for elective orthopaedics. We are looking for highly motivated registrar grade equivalent surgeons who wish to further their trauma and orthopaedic experience. You will also be part of the on call rota.
The experience and teaching offered by the department has allowed our past fellows to successfully pass the FRCS Orthopaedics exam, to be appointed on deanery rotations and also obtain consultant posts.
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.

The post is intended for a Surgeon who is developing a specialist interest in Trauma & Orthopaedic surgery with additional option to be involved in Elective surgery. There will be the opportunity to operate on elective and traumatic conditions both supervised and when suitable, alone. Audit and research are an expected part of this role.
