This a 6 month, full-time locum post working across two hospital sites, with the future intention to recruit a substantive post starting next year.

The Breast Unit is based at St Albans City Hospital which is specially designed such that the clinics, X-ray department, breast care nurses, and receptionists are located adjacent to each other.

The appointee will manage all aspects of breast disease in the outpatient setting including running breast clinics for new patients in a one-stop setting as well as results, post-operative and follow-up clinics. Attendance is required at the weekly multidisciplinary meeting. The post will require proficiency in oncoplastic breast surgery including implant-base reconstruction.

The job plan comprises Theatre 2.25, Clinic 3.5, MDM 0.75, Admin 2, SPA 1.5 = 10PA. The job plan is subject to change according to the Department's and Trust's requirements, if necessary, in the future. The working conditions in this post are equitable to the current consultants.
