Specialist Fracture Clinic Practitioner

Brighton, United Kingdom 279 University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Specialist Fracture Clinic Practitioner at University Hospitals Sussex East. This is a specialist role with a focus on delivering quality and effective care to patients with newly diagnosed fractures. The team provides acute musculoskeletal and orthopaedic services including the award-winning and nationally recognised Virtual Fracture Clinic (VFC).

We are looking for a dynamic, motivated, and enthusiastic individual who is keen to learn and wants to become an autonomous practitioner within Trauma and Orthopaedics. This is a development role with all required training provided and would be suitable for a practitioner with previous experience in MSK or orthopaedics, looking to develop specialist skills and challenge themselves.

This role is a specialist role where you will assess, diagnose, and treat patients who have sustained acute fractures or significant soft tissue injuries, both within the VFC and face to face follow up fracture clinics. The VFC is telephone-based assessments to triage patients and provide them with treatment plans for their diagnosed injury. The face-to-face clinics involve assessing patients post fracture or soft tissue injury, requesting imaging as required and deciding on their ongoing management plan, with support available from Specialist Orthopaedic consultants.

With this role there are significant opportunities for personal development in clinical practice, education and service development, with an aim to improve patient care. As a team we are actively engaged in research, including recruiting patients for national trials, working on local orthopaedic research projects and engaging with research to ensure our patient pathways remain evidence based. In this role we will endeavour to offer protected time for research and service development opportunities.
