Job summary

Employing only 52 senior grade doctors, LSW has a unique ability to provide doctors with job plans that are exclusively tailored to suit successful applicants. Additional opportunities are often available in research, appraisals, and audit, to name just a few. As a senior doctor, you will take an active awareness in LSW management, sharing advice and contributing to senior meetings as appropriate. With a robust Clinical Leadership Management structure, doctors are supported and encouraged to apply for roles to enhance their growth, be it as an Education or Clinical Supervisor or a member of the Medical Management Team. We are committed to fully supporting our doctors to stay connected to what interests them, even outside of their field of specialty, to ensure a career that stays stimulating and unique.

We believe in our doctors and your ability to contribute to the development of the organisation as a whole.

Doctors are provided with a generous study leave allowance of 33 days over three years.

Inclusion in the teaching of trainee doctors is expected and you will receive access to our weekly teaching programme and regular peer group and reflective practice

Main duties of the job

We are pleased to advertise this post that has come from our integrated approach to rehabilitation across the acute & community providers in Plymouth - serving the people of Devon & Cornwall who use these services.

The right person for the job will have broad rehab medicine skills & a CCT/CESR in rehab medicine with an interest in prosthetics & major trauma.

Your peer support will be in our community physician group unified by the care of people, outside the acute hospital, limited by frailty, neurological or severe illness. We are proud to be a group of doctors with a mix of specialty backgrounds, working patterns & interests. You will, however, also be part of the networks of physicians & surgeons working with our shared client group.

This 10PA post is focussed on supporting patients with major trauma & prosthetic rehab with a leadership role in developing these services. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with the inpatient rehab wards & there will be a role in teaching undergraduates as an honorary university fellow.

LSW & University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust are on a journey to integration of care pathways through a prime provider contracting model. We want your enthusiasm, ideas & commitment. We want you to help shape this journey, lead & champion rehab services.
