Consultant Breast Oncoplastic Surgeon

3 days ago

London, United Kingdom St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

Applications are invited for a consultant oncoplastic breast surgeon for 8PAs.

The appointee will join a team of three consultant breast surgeons, one consultant breast and endocrine surgeon and one consultant endocrine surgeon. There is an established surgical team of four Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeons that provide the full range of surgical procedures for both benign and malignant breast disorders. This ranges from simple breast lesion excisions to more complex procedure local pedicled flaps and immediate or delayed breast reconstructions, including free flap surgery. The Breast Service has developed close links with the Plastics team to offer immediate and delayed micro-surgical autologous breast reconstruction.

Breast cancer makes up 15% of the total Trust cancer activity and diagnoses over 600 new breast cancer cases a year. The current job plan is focused on delivering elective breast services through weekly outpatient, day surgery and main Theatre sessions. The job does not attract a general surgery on-call commitment.

The appointee is expected to undertake teaching duties of undergraduate and postgraduate medical staff and other professional groups, to participate in research activities and to play a full part in the clinical governance of oncoplastic breast surgery.

There is currently an additional 2PAs available for a fixed period only, funded by RMP, to support the Breast Pain Pathway.

Main duties of the job

The Breast Cancer Service offers diagnosis, surgery and chemotherapy all on the St George's Hospital site. The service is co-located with the South West London Breast Screening Service and is part of a combined breast symptomatic and screening unit. The Breast symptomatic service provides a full range of oncoplastic surgical procedures for both benign and malignant breast disorders.

All breast referrals are seen within 2 weeks of referral and can be seen in any of the daily one stop Breast Clinics that take place at St George's Hospital, or weekly at QMH Roehampton. The diagnostic process is undertaken by a team of consultant breast surgeons, advanced nurse practitioners, breast diagnosticians and surgical trainees. In addition to the traditional full consultation with an experienced diagnostician, this one-stop model of care provides imaging and biopsies on-the-day as well. The Breast service has an established Breast Cancer Multi-disciplinary Team. The Multi-disciplinary Team meet every Wednesday to discuss all newly diagnosed patients, patients undergoing treatment and those with recurrent disease.

Dependant on the type, size and staging of the tumour, treatment options for breast cancer will vary. There is collaborative care between specialists in breast surgery with expertise in reconstructive surgery, medical and clinical oncology, psychosocial treatment and palliative medicine, as well as easy access to all principal treatment modalities.
