The surgical departments have a long history of surgical rotations, with the emphasis being of training in the environment of a busy, large District General Hospital with consultant teams with excellent links to nearby teaching centres notably Oxford and Bristol. The successful candidates will provide on call cover for the team on a EWTD compliant, 1 in 11 rolling rota, and providing ward cover for the team’s in-patients. There is also a second-on-call rota covering the surgical admissions unit during office hours which is 1 in 12. There is ample opportunity for “hands-on” surgical training in the operating theatre. Each general surgical firm consists of a consultant, a registrar, a core trainee/clinical fellow/F2 and an F1. The successful candidate will have opportunity to take study leave to attend examinations and courses as required.
The successful candidate will work within one of three teams; GI, Vascular or Breast. Together with their colleagues they will be responsible for the day to day management of their team’s in-patients, perform the duties of the on-call general surgical registrar and attend theatre and out-patients. If appointed you will be one of 10 general surgical registrars who all participate in the on-call with an F1 and an F2 assisting them. The successful candidate also will be expected to participate with the training of junior staff and medical students attached to the general surgery department.
The successful candidate would be encouraged to undertake research projects. The postholder will be involved in relevant Clinical Audit projects. Access to PCs and the internet is provided within the department.
