Locum Consultant Breast Surgeon

7 days ago

Carlisle, United Kingdom North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

The Breast Unit sees approximately 3000 patients a year and treats more than 300 women with breast cancer 40% of whom are diagnosed following screening mammography. The breast units at Cumberland Infirmary and West Cumberland Hospital are equipped with state of the art diagnostic equipment (digital mammography, tomosynthesis, breast ultrasound, breast MRI). Symptomatic Breast Services are provided at both hospitals and include diagnostic breast clinics, follow up sessions, multidisciplinary team meetings and surgery. Treatment is provided by the Northern Centre for Cancer Care on the Cumberland Infirmary and West Cumberland Hospital sites.

New patients are seen at "one-stop" clinics, where after clinical assessment patients proceed to imaging and biopsy, if indicated, at the same appointment. Historically, new patients were seen in one-stop clinics at the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle. However, considerable investment and development have been undertaken to offer one stop diagnostic services in Whitehaven and to broaden the range of breast procedures offered in West Cumberland Hospital, so that patients can enjoy the same benefits at both hospital sites.

This is a 12 month fixed-term post.

Main duties of the job

The primary clinical responsibilities of the post holder are: -

To ensure the provision and delivery of a first class clinical service To provide effective leadership to all staff engaged in the specialty To provide specialist breast surgical services for in-patients, day cases and out-patients, with continuing responsibility for the patients and their care and for the proper functioning of the Department. To support and continue to develop the Oncoplastic/reconstructive aspects of the breast service To manage breast surgical emergency presentations after initial management by the on call team on a timely and efficient basis. To contribute to the Breast MDT To carry out teaching duties, as required and, in particular, to take an active part in the education programme of junior medical staff.
