The postholder will participate in a resident full‑shift pattern 1‑in‑12 middle‑grade on‑call rota covering General Surgery, including 12‑hour day and night shifts and provision of care for ambulatory surgical patients. The candidate will be expected to integrate within and work alongside the team of existing consultants in the Vascular and General Surgery departments and within multidisciplinary teams of healthcare professionals. The candidate will be responsible for the oversight and delivery of day‑to‑day vascular‑surgery services, including daily ward rounds, review of inpatient referrals, outpatient clinics, and theatre lists under the supervision of the vascular‑surgery consultants.
