Manchester NHS Foundation Trust invites applications for a Specialty Registrar in CT Surgery. The post is based at Wythenshawe Hospital and Manchester Royal Infirmary, which provides a wide range of inpatient and acute services, with approximately 1000 beds. The large tertiary cardiothoracic unit includes the specialties of cardiology, cardiac and thoracic surgery, heart & lung transplantation, as well as offering VAD and ECMO services.
Outpatients are based in the dedicated clinic suite of the North West Heart Centre. The post holder would also be expected to support an established satellite clinic at one of our local hospitals.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and well‑motivated individual to join our cardiothoracic surgery department as part of the Registrar team. This team consists of 14 registrars, including Higher Clinical Fellows (HCFs), Associate Specialists and Higher Surgical Trainees (HSTs). All colleagues on this rota will be allocated to a named consultant surgeon and will undertake their core activities with that consultant. Consultant & registrar pairings are rotated on a 6‑monthly basis.
Responsibilities
* Attend operating theatres and outpatient clinics on a regular basis.
* Gain experience across the spectrum of cardiothoracic surgery, including mechanical circulatory support and cardiopulmonary transplantation.
* Support an established satellite clinic at a local hospital.
* Work within the cardiothoracic unit that includes 47 surgery beds, 16 transplant beds, and 31 dedicated cardio‑thoracic critical care beds.
Qualifications & Application
* Applications from candidates requiring Tier 2 sponsorship are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applicants.
* Non‑EEA candidates may not be appointed if a suitable EU/EEA candidate is available to take up the post, as the employing body is unlikely to satisfy the Resident Labour Market Test.
