Job summary
University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust is looking to recruit a Vascular Consultant Surgeon.
Based across the Royal Derby Hospital and Chesterfield Royal Hospital, the Vascular department provides a full range of inpatient elective & non-elective operating services, outpatient clinics and day case sessions. Major, arterial, vascular work is delivered at the Derby site with new access to a Hybrid suite. Vascular surgeons have elective commitments at satellite hospitals and / or outreach facilities and this post too would be expected to work cross sites.

There are strong, close, working relationships with Interventional Radiology, with a complex EVAR service. Dedicated multidisciplinary diabetic foot services are established at Royal Derby Hospital, and there is also a well-established renal access programme, supported by the radiologists.
In September 2022, a state-of-the-art Hybrid theatre suite was opened at our Royal Derby Hospital site. The £2.9 million theatre houses state-of-the-art equipment which allows clinicians to carry out sophisticated, complex vascular and cardiology procedures. The hybrid theatre will enhance patient care for patients undergoing major vascular elective and emergency procedures.
Main duties of the job
