Job summary
The Oncoplastic Clinical Fellow post is now in its 10th successful year, and has been created as a result of increased activity demands, Royal College of Surgeons training requirements regarding the Breast Surgery Curriculum, and to help achieve New Deal compliance for junior medical staff by supporting the general surgical patient workload. The post-holder will be expected to ensure adequate support is given to the Breast Team.
Main duties of the job
The breast surgeons offer a full repertoire of diagnostic, excisional and reconstructive breast surgery procedures. The team also offers the full complimentary range of oncoplastic symmetrisation procedures such as reduction, augmentation, mastopexy as well as complex revisional procedures and lateral cheat wall perforator flaps. Private practice is also delivered on-site which gives additional opportunistic training in cosmetic procedures.
10 month fixed term contract available without on-call commitments, but may be based on the needs of the Trust at time of appointment (1:10 Registrar level General Surgery on-call).
