Description

Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust has a cohesive and supportive ENT Department that manages the full range of ENT conditions in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.

The department currently comprises five substantive consultants based at Torbay, as well as an additional consultant who has been recently jointly appointed with Exeter and who is due to start later this year but will be based and cover on call at Torbay.

This is for 10PAs, but there is the potential for less than full time working to be accommodated.

We are hoping to appoint enthusiastic colleagues who would complement our current collegiate atmosphere and ideally bring the following expertise to the department:

To provide high quality consultant delivered care for General ENT across elective and emergency patients. The ability to deliver & further develop a subspecialist practice.

The job would be 10PA (with the potential for LTFT), divided as follows:2.5 PA SPA ( the Trust supports justified 2.

5 SPA throughout your career )

7.5 PA DCC

3.75 PA Clinic
2 PA Theatre
0.75 PA On Call
1 PA DCC Admin

To deliver clinical leadership and supervision of junior medical staff, ensuring the highest standards of clinical care are provided to all patients attending the hospital.

To provide teaching and training at undergraduate and postgraduate level and supervise and train the juniors and specialty doctors.

To be proactive the in the department's clinical governance agenda and take on leadership roles to support continuous learning and improvement, thereby abiding by the clinical and corporate governance policies of the Trust.

To liaise with clinicians and managers within and outside the department to address any issues arising that may affect the services.

Why Work With Us

As a national leader in day surgery, with a well established, internationally recognised, purpose built Day Surgery Unit, it is fitting that the Trust is currently in the process of building the two new theatres.

With most of the elective operating in ENT at Torbay being daycase this will significantly expand our capacity.

The success of the Trust, the collegiate and supportive working environment and our location (with unparalleled access to some of the finest beaches and Dartmoor on the doorstep whilst retaining robust, fast major road and train access) has ensured colleagues across the specialties are of the highest quality with many national leaders and innovators.

The Trust has led nationally in the concept of taking an integrated approach to delivering healthcare and was supported to become the country's first Integrated Care Organisation, successfully bringing together acute and community health alongside social care.
