Hand & Wrist Surgery Fellow
University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust View all jobs
Posted 29 day(s) ago
Reference: 358-8231483-MSK
Job summary
Applicants are invited for the post of the Hand and Wrist Surgery Fellow for a period of 12 months. Applications are welcomed from trainees that are in their final year who will CCT / CESR prior to the posts starting, although the post would commence only after completion of training.
The purpose of this fellowship is to produce hand and wrist surgeons who are well versed in the breadth and depth of the subspecialty. The fellows are expected to gain mutually complementary perspectives and skills from both Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeons and Plastic Surgeons, in the management of hand and wrist conditions.
Prior to the scheme being withdrawn nationally, our fellowship was recognised by the British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH) as a Training Interface Group (TIG) Advanced Training Post in Hand Surgery, one of a small number of such posts nationally which BSSH regards as representing the pinnacle of hand surgery training in the UK.
Main duties of the job
Candidates for this post will be expected to demonstrate a keen interest in hand and wrist surgery.
The post will be supported primarily by 5 orthopaedic and 2 plastic surgery hand and wrist surgeons.
Clinical sessions will be held across all three main UHL sites, with additional sessions in the peripheral sites also an option. These will consist of trauma and elective hand clinics hosted by both parent specialties. The fellow will be trained and developed to run both supervised and independent operating theatre lists and out-patient clinics, and take lead roles in organising the MDTs and annual meetings (Hand Fracture, Soft Tissue, and microsurgery training courses). We believe this broad exposure will provide the fellow with the higher skills, techniques and treatment algorithms required to build upon in their future hand surgery careers.
We encourage fellows to sign up to the British (and/or European)hand diploma within the department, and will help facilitate additional tutorials within nearby units as required.
It will be assumed that, at the end of the appointment, the Fellow will obtain a consultant, or other comparable post, with a special responsibility for Hand and Wrist. The expected period of the Fellow's appointment will be for twelve months.
About us
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
- high-quality care for all,
- being a great place to work,
- partnerships for impact, and
- research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
- we are compassionate,
- we are proud,
- we are inclusive, and
- we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
