Job summary
The
John Goligher Unit is run by twelve Consultant Colorectal Surgeons with
sub-speciality interests in advanced and recurrent colorectal cancer,
minimally-invasive and robotic surgery, pelvic floor surgery, abdominal wall
reconstruction, complex inflammatory bowel disease and intestinal failure.
Each
year we offer four fellowships for senior trainees who have completed their
general surgery training to CCT level or equivalent.
Fellows
can expect a broad programme of advanced training with the option of tailoring
the year to focus on one or more subspecialties.
The post is fixed term for a 12-month period. It is
envisaged that the successful candidate will fulfil the training objectives of
their fellowship within this period.
Main duties of the job
Fellows
on the unit have already completed registrar/residency training (post-CCT or
equivalent) and benefit from consultant-led training in the operating theatre.
We expect the applicant to be experienced enough to make sound independent
clinical judgements and to look after this complex group of patients on a
day-to-day basis. They are also expected to supervise and teach the registrars
and SHOs. The applicant will be expected to conduct rounds and clinics
independently. They may also be asked to perform certain lists independently,
appropriate for their level of experience. As part of the Senior Registrar (SR)
rota, they will supervise and support the on-call Registrar with acute
admissions, operating and referrals on non-resident rota Mon-Fri.
As a large teaching hospital there are multiple
opportunities for teaching and training. There are leadership and service
improvement roles that can be picked up by fellows. The unit remains at the
forefront of international research into colorectal disease and is supported by
world class pathology, gastroenterology and radiology departments. Our academic
University department, led by Professor David Jayne, has a large portfolio of
both basic science and translational research projects and Fellows are encouraged
(and supported) to publish at least one manuscript during the course of the
year.
About us
The
unit is composed of twelve consultant surgeons (ten whole time equivalent),
four senior fellows, five Y&H Deanery SpRs, three core trainees (CT), four
