2 weeks ago


Torquay, United Kingdom Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking to recruit a locally employed doctor to join our innovative Trauma & Orthopaedics team, to commence for 6 months from February 2024. The post is 1in 8 on call covering Trauma & Orthopaedics Surgery.This is an excellent opportunity to gain useful clinical experience in this specialty. For informal enquiry please contact Mr Terry Kidd, Practice Manager Trauma & Orthopaedics The applicant will be expected to take part in the standard SHO on-call rota (1 in 8). Given the anticipated stage of training, the successful applicant will not be expected to operate independently for the majority of procedures but will be able to take part in supervised elective and trauma lists.

Some of this training may take place in an adjacent private hospital which has been providing elective capacity to Torbay Hospital during the Covid pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has required the department to make significant and ongoing changes to the day-to-day delivery of T&O. We anticipate we will be able to provide ongoing elective care (and experience of this for the applicant) over the coming months, but at the time of writing (May 2021) the short term position remains unclear. The timetable is to be designed with the new appointee to fulfil their training needs.

There will be opportunities to work in fracture and elective clinics. It is anticipated that this post will allow the applicant to proceed to successful selection for national specialist registrar training. The trauma and orthopaedic directorate sits within the Coastal Integrated Service Organisation at Torbay Hospital. A comprehensive outpatient service is provided to all South Devon patients, both for trauma and elective orthopaedics.

Fracture clinics are held at Torbay Hospital each weekday morning. Elective outpatient clinics currently take place at Torbay and Newton Abbot Hospitals. There is a Hydrotherapy pool and Rheumatology service at Torbay Hospital. Two high dependency beds are supported on the elective orthopaedic ward.

The Directorate has two inpatient wards Ainslie (26 trauma beds) and Ella Rowcroft (19 elective beds), although during the Covid crisis we have a significantly reduced inpatient capacity. We additionally undertake a high proportion of day case orthopaedic surgery, including selected joint replacement procedures, and have established a national reputation for excellence in this field. There are four HEPA filtered Laminar flow theatres for trauma and orthopaedic surgery. Admissions Officers co-ordinate all elective cases and input all operating lists (fracture and elective) onto the Hospitals Theatre system.

Trauma Co-ordinators assist surgeons with the compilation of fracture lists and co-ordination of their operative stay, and also manage a fast track system for patients with fractured neck of femur. In addition these patients are supported by Consultant Orthogeriatricians, with a Physicians Assistant. As a teaching hospital teaching of medical students, junior doctors, nurses and physiotherapists will be required. Time will be made available to allow research.

It is expected that the post holder will complete a research and audit project for presentation at a local meeting and this may lead to national presentations or publications.
