CONSULTANT IN ORTHOPAEDIC MAJOR TRAUMA SURGERY
Applications are invited for the above post at the Orthopaedic Trauma Department at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Headley Way, Headington, Oxford, OX3 9DU.
We require an Orthopaedic Trauma Consultant, with a proven track record of delivering orthopaedic trauma surgery in the major trauma centre setting at consultant level.
The appointee will work as part of a dedicated orthopaedic trauma team in a Major Trauma Centre, serving a catchment population of 3 million with a substantial tertiary workload. This is integral to this appointment, and applicants will need to demonstrate fellowship level training in complex Orthopaedic trauma surgery. We are looking for an applicant who is a team player and has relevant experience in the management of complex trauma.
The appointee will be expected to participate in the on-call rota and may be required to work on any other site as required by the OUH Trust in the future.
The Oxford Trauma Service provides consultant-based care for the local population of Oxfordshire and Thames Valley Major Trauma Network. The new appointee will form part of a team, managing patients with musculoskeletal trauma. The appointee will have individual consultant responsibilities, but these will be performed within a team environment, which provides excellent opportunities for further personal and professional development. The new post holder will be treated equitably in this regard with respect to his/her consultant colleagues. The post is suitable for a fully trained orthopaedic surgeon, with relevant experience from the UK or abroad, who wishes to practice their skills in the management of musculoskeletal trauma. We are looking for an applicant who is a team player and has relevant experience in both the management of complex trauma and pelvic and acetabular fracture surgery.
Teaching / Research
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a teaching hospital Trust, and the post-holder will be required to participate in teaching students, training junior doctors and in clinical examinations.
