Lancaster, United Kingdom University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Lake District is quite probably the most beautiful region in England and not surprisingly the National Park is the most visited in the country. Holiday makers are attracted here by the stunning scenery, the wealth of leisure activities and the multitude of good places to eat and drink. But why holiday here when you could be living and working here?

An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a Consultant General Surgeon with dedicated subspecialty interest in Endocrine Surgery, working within a well-established General Surgical Unit, based at the RLI site, with elective services also provided at the WGH in Kendal. We are a cohesive team of General Surgeons covering a range of subspecialties. Our Endocrine Surgical Service is well supported by established MDTs (benign and malignant, local and regional), NET MDTs and joint rapid access clinics in place, closely working alongside Endocrine Physicians and Specialist Radiologists. We are attracting an increasing number of adrenalectomies with exemplar team working and outcomes.

The appointee's main duties will be to provide in and out-patient care for endocrine and general surgical patients, including active involvement in the relevant MDTs, furthering future developments and providing non resident on-call for general surgical emergencies on a 1:8 rota at the RLI site.

Interviews are scheduled for 5th January 2024
- Provide outpatient new & review clinics including urgent and 2WW referrals
- Preparation of patients for theatre and post-operative care.
- Dealing with both routine and emergency attenders. P
- Play a lead role in the clinical management of patients.
- Routine inpatient ward rounds following on-call periods
- Be involved in complex clinical, patient management problems and inter-disciplinary planning treatment.
- Participate in clinical audit & demonstrate evidence-based practice where appropriate.

- Adequate handover of care must take place where appropriate and necessary as directed by the clinical lead, with communication of details about all problem patients.

On Call

The on call is 1 in 8. After being on call, the post holder will do a post take ward round and have access to an afternoon CEPOD emergency list which is consultant supervised. This is currently worked in two blocks of 4, and 3 days.

The post holder will undertake minimum 10 PAs including 1.5 SPAs and 1 admin PA. On-calls will be at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, a level-two trauma unit, on a 1 in 8 non-resident basis.

We operate from three main hospitals - Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community health care premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.

FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.

WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.

All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay

Our community services for adults are provided in people’s homes, community centres, clinics, GP Practices, community hospitals and our main hospitals. Our aim is to work with people to help them remain independent, improve their health and manage their conditions through high quality care, advice and support.
