Senior Clinical Fellow in General Surgery
The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust
This job is now closed
Job summary
We are pleased to offer the opportunity for an enthusiastic Senior Clinical Fellow with well-rounded training to join an existing team of 12 Consultants.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be expected to work alongside the 12 Consultant Surgeons together with Specialist Registrars, Core Surgical Trainees and Foundation Trainees. The department provides a wide range of in-patient and day case procedures and provides emergency and elective general surgery services as well as subspecialty services in Colorectal, Breast and Upper GI. The department has an excellent reputation for laparoscopic surgery and performs significant numbers of laparoscopic colorectal resections, groin and ventral hernia repairs and fundoplications each year. The laparoscopic approach is routine for appendicectomy and cholecystectomy (both elective and emergency). The breast unit perform over 250 cancer resections per year with both immediate and delayed reconstructions. Complex abdominal wall reconstructions are undertaken regularly for complex/giant incisional hernia.
Acute Surgical Unit
In 2019 the Trust opened a new Acute Surgical Unit, with bespoke assessment facilities aimed at maximising our ambulatory care pathways for surgical patients. A senior surgical assessor reviews patients on presentation and integral ultrasound assessment speeds diagnosis.
It has reduced non-elective admissions and reduced length of stay. Initially aimed at General Surgery patients, work is underway to broaden the approach to other surgical specialities who could take advantage of the facilities and ambulatory pathways.
