The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust
The aim of this post is for junior doctors to gain experience in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery. Although this post is not recognised for training, it provides invaluable experience at the Specialty/Core Trainee Level 1/2 in the management of Trauma & Orthopaedics. With the increasing competition for CT and ST posts, there are more capable doctors who are potentially missing out on getting onto a recognised programme. The post holder should consider this post as a stepping stone to making themselves a better candidate at the next round of appointments. As such, it will reward those who are keen to learn more about Orthopaedic Surgery and are willing to work on improving their clinical and surgical skills. The post holder will have opportunities to attend clinics and theatres to improve their knowledge. There are also Audit and Research opportunities for those willing to devote the effort into them. The post holder will gain experience in all sub-specialties: Lower Limb, Spinal, Upper Limb, Hand, Foot & Ankle. The department has a long history of excellence in its provision of Orthopaedic surgery. It participates in superb Specialist Registrar rotations, which attract high calibre candidates. The demand on the service is great, and we perform a large number of operations on knees, hips, spine, hands, shoulders, elbows, feet, and ankles. Wherever possible, our surgery is carried out in a day surgery setting and in line with Best Practice Tariff. Main duties of the job
