    Microsurgical Reconstructive Fellow in Plastic Surgery - London, United Kingdom - Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust

    Default job background
    Fixed-Term
    Description

    Job summary

    The post holder will be one of 2 microsurgical fellows in the Department who will be expected to work together and provide guidance to the more junior Registrars in General Plastic Surgery. The successful applicant will be expected to have the experience for clinical activity as laid out in the job description. The post holder should have passed the FRCS(Plast) or equivalent exam at the time of commencing in post. The post-holder is encouraged to partake in and publish projects that have been established, as well as newer studies, and present the results at local and national meetings. Microsurgical experience such as previous Fellowship is desirable but not essential.

    The principle workload of the Plastic Surgery Service is cancer reconstruction; breast, head & neck, skin cancer; extremity trauma and elective hand surgery. The Department specialises in microsurgical reconstruction; head and neck reconstruction and breast reconstruction on the Charing Cross site; extremity reconstruction, providing Plastic Surgery services to the Trust's Level 1 Major Trauma Centre at St Mary's Hospital. The Department is responsible for the care of general Plastic Surgery patients with an emphasis on tertiary referrals and undertakes between free flaps per year, manages approximately 150 open lower limb fractures and 30 complex upper limb injuries each year and provides a hand trauma service for injuries attending the St Mary's site.

    Main duties of the job

    The post holder will join the Specialist Registrars' daily and on call rota. The post holder will be one of two Microsurgical Fellows in the Department. The 2 Fellows will be expected to work together to ensure organisation of the day to day work and to share out the microsurgical work equitably. The Fellow will work closely with all Consultants in the care of both routine and emergency clinical problems. It is expected that the post holder will have the opportunity to attend the majority of the microsurgical procedures; however, it is not to the exclusion of the experience and requirements of the Specialist Registrars training. The Microsurgical Fellow should reach a level that they learn to supervise less experienced trainees in microsurgery.

    The post-holder will see all patients admitted to the Plastic Surgery Unit and perform a daily ward round with the other Specialist Registrars and junior doctors. The post-holder is required to see plastic surgical emergency patients in the Emergency Departments of the Trust Hospitals and patients referred to the service from other specialties in the Trust. The Fellow will be expected to provide support to the Major Trauma Centre at St Mary's Hospital. The Fellow will be expected to assist Consultants in the operating theatre and will undertake elective and emergency surgery personally, with supervision when appropriate. The Fellow will attend weekly outpatient clinics.
