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

Weekly timetable would include on average 2-3 theatre sessions, 1-2 outpatient clinic sessions and 2 optional research sessions. Although based with the colorectal & upper GI teams, a degree of cross cover within general surgery and vascular is expected - offering the trainee a broader experience. One week in 8 is “Hot-Week” covering emergency surgery - this is well-structured with a team-based system.

The post will build on core skills attained at CT1 & 2 and allow further development within General and Emergency Surgery.

The post would be part of the general surgical on-call rota 1:8 and have regular access to GI elective and emergency lists. Audit/research and publication would be expected.

All Registrar level surgeons are involved in all teams and share the on-call service with compliant shift patterns.

Torbay and South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust offers a weekly General Surgical themed programme at all levels under the Surgical Services Directorate in the following surgical specialties:
- Upper GI

Department of Surgery comprises of 14 General Surgeons (8 (2 LTFT) with a Colorectal Surgery interest, 6 with an Upper GI interest).

We also have a strong unit of 5 dedicated Urologists.

Weekly timetable would include on average 2-3 theatre sessions, 1-2 outpatient clinic sessions and 2 optional research sessions. Although mainly based with the colorectal & upper GI teams, a degree of cross cover within general surgery is expected - offering the trainee a broader experience.

Supporting the on call team is two surgical house officers whose shifts are spread, two ambulatory fellows, one physician associate, two SHOs, one middle grade and two consultants (UGI and LGI).

We offer an ambulatory service at Torbay hospital which manages an average take of 20 ambulatory patients and an average take of 20 patient referrals per day. We have two ambulatory fellows that assist five days a week with the ambulatory component of the on call.

The post would be part of the general surgical on-call rota 1:8 and have regular access to Upper GI elective and emergency lists. Audit/research and publication would be encouraged.

The on-call team is well supported Monday to Friday with 2 physician associates, two on call SHO, two on call house officers and 2 Consultants (one UGI and one LGI).
