Job description

Job responsibilities

Clinical workload

The Ophthalmic Department provides a comprehensive oculoplastic service for its catchment area of Sefton, Liverpool and Knowsley. In addition we provide a tertiary service for Merseyside and other regions for the management of complex cases. We see a wide range of oculoplastic, orbital and lacrimal conditions and have a high demand for our services. We have good links with related specialties including maxillo-facial surgery, neurosurgery, ENT and dermatology, and operate when necessary with colleagues from these specialties, particularly in complex head and neck cancer patients.

There is a weekly postgraduate educational session attended by doctors working in Ophthalmology throughout Mersey. All units make an active contribution. This occurs on a Wednesday afternoon when no clinical activity takes place. There is also a locally run bi-weekly oculoplastic teaching session.

All medical staff are expected to participate in medical audit as agreed by the University Hospitals audit committee and you would be expected to play a leading role in encouraging appropriate audit and implementing the lessons learned.
