Orthopaedic Service Overview
The Orthopaedic Service provides a comprehensive elective and trauma service to a large and diverse population, with tertiary referral links across the region. The service works closely with neighbouring Trusts and independent sector providers to support elective recovery and waiting list management.
Role Summary
The knee service delivers a full range of soft tissue knee procedures, including arthroscopy, meniscal surgery and ligament reconstruction. The post holder will play a key role in high‑volume elective knee activity, focusing on reducing long‑wait pathways and improving patient flow across outpatient and surgical services. This 12‑month fixed‑term consultant post is suited to a consultant seeking a focused elective role within a supportive team, contributing to service resilience, elective recovery and improved patient outcomes.
Responsibilities
* Conduct consultant‑led outpatient clinics.
* Participate in elective operating lists.
* Engage in multidisciplinary working and clinical decision‑making.
* Drive service improvement and elective recovery initiatives.
* Collaborate with trauma and infection colleagues to provide cross‑cover support when needed.
* Champion clinical governance, audit, teaching and supervision of junior medical staff.
* Comply with Trust requirements for appraisal, revalidation and continuing professional development.
Additional Information
There is no formal on‑call commitment. Routine trauma is managed by the trauma service; however, the post holder will work collaboratively with trauma colleagues where appropriate. The post holder will be based within the Orthopaedic Service and deliver consultant‑level elective knee care across designated Trust sites.
