Post CCT Fellowship in Hip Surgery

This job is now closed

Job summary

We invite applications for a Post CCT fellowship in Hip surgery. This one-year Fellowship has been accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons as one of their National Surgical Fellowships. It is designed to provide skills and competencies above and beyond that currently required to obtain a CCT in Orthopaedics and Trauma. It affords an excellent training opportunity in the whole spectrum of modern hip surgery. We see young adult patients with symptomatic hip impingement for arthroscopic and open surgery and submit our data to the Non-Arthroplasty Hip Register. We manage complex primary arthroplasties and revisions and have a dedicated periprosthetic fracture service. The previous fellows have all gone on to consultant appointment.

Applicants must have full GMC Registration and be post CCT or on the specialist register.

Main duties of the job

The programme has been designed to include a supervised new patient hip clinic, and operating theatre sessions with exposure to open and arthroscopic surgery. It is supported by educational meetings and relevant research. The timetable is predominantly supervised, but there is also opportunity for regular independent operating. Pre Covid our fellow achieved 200 primary arthroplasties (first surgeon 150), 50 revisions (10 first surgeon) and 100 hip arthroscopies (50 supervised).
