Clinical
The postholder’s duties will be involved in outpatients clinics, Transplant On calls, Operating theatres, inpatient activities and multi‑organ retrievals. The postholder’s duties will be primarily at Churchill Hospital but it is a condition of the appointment that the postholder will be willing to work in any of the Trust’s locations, undertake organ retrievals in other hospitals, and be able to provide peripheral clinics in other hospitals. The Oxford Transplant Centre comprises a separate building including day‑case beds, outpatient clinics, Tissue Typing laboratory and office accommodation; in‑patients are situated nearby. The unit provides a regional renal transplant service for the six counties surrounding Oxford (population about 3 million), supra‑regional pancreas, islet and intestinal transplant services and organ retrieval (as part of the National Organ Retrieval Service). Some 250 deceased and living donor transplants and more than 140 organ retrievals are performed per year, together over 400 vascular access and other procedures. The clinical activities of the Oxford Transplant Centre include the pancreatic islet transplant programme (Director Professor Paul Johnson). The transplant unit is closely associated with major research programmes in transplantation biology within the Oxford Transplant Centre, The NHSBT Transplantation Laboratory and the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is a teaching hospital trust, and the post‑holder will be required to participate in programmes for teaching clinical students, training junior doctors and in clinical examinations.
