Senior Clinical Fellow General Surgery and Benign Colorectal
This job is now closed
Job summary
The Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is appointing a Senior Clinical Fellow in General and Benign Colorectal Surgery. The post holder will be responsible for ward rounds, will undertake General Surgery and benign Colorectal outpatient clinics, and assist on General Surgery theatre lists. The post holder will support the Colorectal Cancer team as required, however this will be on a limited basis, and therefore this post is not recommended for anyone looking for extensive training in Colorectal cancer or major Colorectal procedures. There is opportunity for the post holder to get involved in teaching and training, audit and quality improvement work. Interested applicants will also have opportunity to gain experience in endoscopy.
The post is offered on a full-time basis, and includes a 1 in 10 on call commitment, including night shifts, with commensurate banding.
Main duties of the job
The post will be based in the Department of General Surgery within the subspecialty of General and Benign Colorectal Surgery. The post involves supporting the supervising consultants in the full spectrum of clinical activity including main theatres, day surgery theatres, out-patients and ward work. As the trust moves forward from the COVID-19 pandemic, services are changing rapidly to adapt to a new way of working. Therefore the successful candidate may be expected to support surgeons across the service. This will provide an excellent opportunity to learn from experienced surgeons, particularly as they look to continue to provide high quality clinical care in a post-COVID healthcare environment.
It is envisioned that the successful candidate will play an active role in improving the emergency surgical pathway for patients alongside consultants, managers, and the wider hospital team. A particular focus will be the effective running of the CEPOD list. Experience in quality improvement would be desirable but training can be provided within the Trust.
As an employee of the Trust the post-holder will work in close co-operation with and support other clinical, medical, professional and managerial colleagues in providing high quality, safe health care to patients.
