Job summary
The Northumbria Lower Limb Arthroplasty Revision fellowship offers an excellent opportunity for a post FRCS senior trainee to gain fellowship experience in hip and knee primary and in particular revision arthroplasty in our busy arthroplasty unit. We perform over two and half thousand primary joint replacements per year, and are the busiest revision arthroplasty unit in the region. The fellow will join our team of five surgeons for a one year fellowship, with attachment to one senior consultant per six months.
We are advertising for periods August 2024-25.
Main duties of the job
The post will consist of mainly elective and acute arthroplasty, with an option to join the middle grade on call rota (1 in 10 for trauma daytime work alongside the designated consultant). A weekly revision arthroplasty list is a key part of the post, allowing exposure to a large volume of revision cases, and the chance to work alongside all 5 of our revision surgeons. The remainder of the week is filled with elective clinic and theatre sessions, and the revision arthroplasty MDT and complex clinic.
Our unit has a strong track record for clinical improvement. We run one of the leading daycase arthroplasty NHS services in the UK, lead nationally in hip fracture care, and host one of the few bone and joint infection units in the UK. The fellow will be expected to design and implement a clinical improvement project. We support application by the fellow to the BOA future leaders programme.
