Job summary

Following centralisation of Vascular Surgical Services in July 2022 this is an exciting time for development of the service in South East Wales. We are hoping to appoint substantive Specialty Doctors in Vascular Surgery to support the middle grade tier in this busy regional centre.

The Specialty Doctors will work with Clinical Fellows and Registrar's under supervision of the unit consultant surgeons. It is anticipated that time spent working within SEWVN will enable appointees to develop their CVs making them highly appointable in future UK National Recruitment rounds or in Portfolio Application Process for Consultant appointment

Main duties of the job

The appointee will be primarily based in the Major Arterial Centre in UHW and will be part of the middle grade tier of trainee doctors participating in ward, emergency department, outpatient clinics and operating theatre work alongside other middle grade trainees from the Welsh Vascular Surgical Training Programme. All middle grade doctors will be constantly under the supervision of Consultant Surgeons.

All middle grade doctors in the MAC will be required to support operating lists, outpatient clinics and assessment of ward referrals in spoke hospitals throughout the SE Wales region.

The appointee will participate in a 1 in 6 out of hours on call from home rota as the first on call point of contact for vascular emergencies and referrals. The middle grade rota will be supported by a Consultant Vascular Surgeon.
